This is a dream my 9 year old son had a couple nights ago.
“We were at Granddad and Granny’s house and it was Saturday evening in the summer time. And Granddad walked out of the room for some reason but Dad was sitting on the couch staring at the TV and it was the news. Some rocks fell out of the sky into the ocean and broke through the ground under the ocean and made huge waves that were destroying almost half of California. But before that the sun was very hot and it was evaporating lots of water from the ocean. It was going to make a very bad winter, worse than the winter in the Little House Book, “The Long Winter.” Or maybe it would rain in some places; like too much rain. They were showing pictures on the TV of California.

So we got in the car immediately and drove to our house and picked up just a few things like sleeping bags and water jugs. And Dad was driving like crazy far out into the forest. We drove past a mountain that I remembered seeing before. And we kept driving till it was dark and I couldn’t tell where we were going. We were going to a place where we’d be safe.
