The Kentucky Meat Shower

from We’ve Always Been Weird

150 years ago, in 1876 Kentucky, a weather event occurred that would result in the New York TImes running a headline that read "Flesh Descends in a Shower". While we have not quite nailed down where (or what) the flesh came from, it is a weird and wonderful oddity that has fascinated people for over a century now. sources:https://vinepair.com/cocktail-chatter/kentucky-meat-shower-mystery/https://www.iflscience.com/the-kentucky-meat-shower-of-1876-it-came-down-like-snowflakes-82561https://www.npr.org/2026/03/15/nx-s1-5737457/cloudy-with-a-chance-of-meatballs-kentucky-marks-the-day-meat-fell-from-the-skyhttps://www.hollyhillandco.com/stories-recipes/meat-showerwikipediahttps://davebarry.substack.com/p/the-kentucky-meat-showerhttps://antiqueslides.net/kentucky-meat-shower-newly-found-specimen-confirms-its-nature/https://sepro.com/aquatics/algae-corner/algae-corner-what-is-it-witchs-jelly-nostoctheme song by Riley H. on Fiverr !help honor Ms Shirley by supporting her organization Beauty 2 the Streetz: https://b2ts.org/get-involved/gofundme to support Keith Porter's daughters: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-franceolas-granddaughters-future?attribution_id=sl:7ac675f7-6e79-4f21-b419-f0aee97ad4d7&lang=en_US&ts=1768018709&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp17_ta&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=native_optionspetition to end immigration raids by ICE: https://action.aclu.org/send-message/stop-ices-attack-our-communitiescharities to check out:The Loveland Foundation https://thelovelandfoundation.org/For the Gworls https://www.forthegworls.com/homeRAINN https://rainn.org/Doctors Without Borders/MSF https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/Save the Children https://www.savethechildren.org/social media:instagram.com/wevealwaysbeenweirdtiktok @wevealwaysbeenweirdtwitter x.com/wabwpodemail us!
