My dad and I went out on the back porch to see how our screen enclosure was doing, as it had been damaged by a previous storm. Out on the backyard fence was a possum. In 90mph sustained winds. That possum was pissed. It would walk along the top of the fence for a couple feet, then a big wind gust would come and knock it over the side. It would climb back up and continue on for a couple more feet until this happened again. We actually have it on video.

Anyway, after the storm passed we were out assessing the damage to our yard and there was the possum, sitting on the neighbor's fence. It's hair was all matted down and it just looked really pissed. Anybody who has ever been up close to a possum knows that they are not exactly friendly. They'll usually start hissing and crap if you get close to them. I walked right up to this guy, he slowly turns his head a bit, looks at me, then just looks away. I think it was too exhausted to even care that I was there.

Our guess is that when the storm came, it got really dark and the possum thought it was night, so it went out looking for food (or whatever they look for at night)(maybe female possums). Then when the storn passed the sun came out again and the possum was thoroughly wet and confused. Every now and then we get a good laugh by watching that video though.
