When I was a kid, I was convinced that multiple simultaneous natural events could not occur at the same time. For example, if there was a thunderstorm in an area experiencing an earthquake, the thunder, wind and rain would pause for the duration of the quake, then resume when it was over, doing the same for aftershocks. Obviously, the earthquake takes precedence.

Likewise, if there was a wildfire, and an earthquake happened, the fire would just have to suspend itself for a while, and hope that it didn't start raining after the earthquake turned off, or something.

Yeah, I had some odd ideas.

@BorrisInABox well hey I thought the sky was a big wooden platform. I thought it was the world's ceiling.

@dodecahedron Yeah, the sky was also a ceiling for me, but it was one of those thin fiberglass panels. That's how rain was able to get through from whatever was on the other side of the sky. It would just soak through to the other side.
