All was peaceful on the beach until, suddenly, clouds rolled in and opened up, dropping a deluge of pelicans on swimmers and sunbathers.

Succinctly yours: deluge
Every week, a photo is posted on the Grandma's Goulash blog, for the challenge called "Succinctly Yours" wherein Grandma asks us to use the photo as inspiration for a short story of 140 words or a short-short story of 140 characters including spaces and punctuation. Without seeing the photo, Grandma's daughter chooses the optional word of the week, which we can use, or not, as we like. This week's word is deluge.
Here is my submission of 136 characters, including spaces, punctuation, and the word of the week.
All was peaceful on the beach until, suddenly, clouds rolled in and opened up, dropping a deluge of pelicans on swimmers and sunbathers.

Love it! That would be something to see!
Good one! That must be the bird version of "raining cats and dogs". :D
When I read your story, my mind flashed on the 1978 airing of the TV show, WKRP In Cincinnati, when the station manager, Arthur Carlson, decided to do a "turkey drop" as a Thanksgiving stunt to gain listeners. Jerry and I laughed so much at that episode. If you didn't see it, you can find it (WKRP in Cincinnati's Turkey Drop Episode) described here:

Thanks for triggering that memory with your pelican drop story--very unique!
I like the idea of the pelican deluge, Kay. I hope they all had a 'soft' landing.

Forgot to mention, but since you knew Adi, our beagle, to some extent, I should tell you that she died Sept 17 (Monday)...
Oh dear! This presented a rather incredible picture in my head.
LOL! Charming!

Have you an TRULY BLESSED WEEKEND AND AWESOME WEEK,Kay!

Raining Pelicans instead of cats and dogs - that's novel! LOL
I'm with Grandma - forget raining cats and dogs! Very cute.
this photo looks like my neck of the woods! (so sorry to read you've been ill, i hope you're feeling much better soon.)
