That made me think of this story. It's going to sound like
one of my tall tales but it's the truth.
After hurricane Fredrick (1979) we went to check on our
cabin at Gulf Shores. The hurricane did incredible damage.
It was a two story house, and it completely wiped out the
first story. And amazingly the second story floated down
and rested almost on the original foundation. Even things
like dishes and lamps were still in place. You could have
actually rode out the hurricane in the top floor without
damage. Bottom floor your dead, top floor alive but scared
out of your mind.
There were all kind of things in the yard that were washed
up from who knows where. I still have the Louisville Slugger
that I found. But the thing that ties this in to Dallas is that
we found a lamp in the debris and took it back home with us.
My uncle restored the lamp for us. It was brass and wood
with what I believe were lion heads on the sides. Near the
end of one of the original Dallas episodes they were filming
in J.R.'s bedroom. And we were shocked to see that very
same design lamp on his nightstand.
What are the odds of that happening?
