What would happen if it really did rain cats and dogs?

If it were to really rain cats and dogs, all of us would be on the floor with pain and scratches. Dogs weigh about 30 to 60 pounds most of the time. They are extremely heavy and its a pain to just carry them. Know imagine, all the dogs are falling on us. That's a hit of about 40 pounds. If just throw in a little baby puppy its sort of hard to carry one sometime cause people think their not that heavy. And now for the cats. We all know that cats land on their feet. So if by any chance, coincidence maybe, you look up and a cat land on your face. Your faced is screwed. And if it did rain cats and dogs, most of the dogs will be biting other people or chase the cats and run and tumble people over. It would be pretty cool though, I'll get a husky or snow dog. Then I'll get a German Shepherd, and I will also go for a Golden Retriever. I like those three types of dogs. They all look like firm and steady dogs. Like for hunting and stuff like that. It would be crazy though it if it were to happen.

4. American military helicopters landed on Tuesday at Haiti’s wrecked National Palace, and troops began rolling through the capital’s battered streets, signs of the growing international relief operation here. But the troops’ presence underscored the rising complaints that the Haitian government had all but disappeared in the week since a huge earthquake struck.
5. University of Connecticut, Coach Jim Calhoun took an indefinite medical leave of absence on Tuesday, with the institution citing “temporary medical issues.” The university declined to specify Calhoun’s medical issues or offer a timetable for his return.
