Danielle and Kristine learn how to survive one of the world's most dangerous animals this week, and Valley Heat's own Emily Maya Mills joins us with a story about surviving one of the world's most dangerous machines!

Because of the atmospheric river (https://www.newscientist.com/article/2355697-california-storms-didnt-solve-the-states-drought-and-water-crisis/) , Danielle and Kristine touched briefly on flood safety (https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/features/flood-safety/index.html) , and if your home was damaged, it could be confusing to know what's covered. Perhaps this article (https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/working-for-you/what-to-know-about-damage-from-recent-storms/509-79540cfc-ab64-4fde-9314-2aa470206cea)  is helpful. One thing is certain: Danielle will never drink a gallon of water daily. 

After that brief sidebar on flooding, it was time to get into the main event- hippos.

And how about those Cocaine Hippos (https://www.npr.org/2022/01/13/1072903214/the-debate-about-pablo-escobars-hippos) ? And if you can't get enough of cocaine hippos (https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/pablo-escobar-castrated-hippos-1.6627595) , there is never enough Cocaine Hippos (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colombia-cocaine-hippos-pablo-escobars-invasive-species/) ! 

After covering the world's most dangerous animal (after the two Big M's- Mosquitos, Men), it was our favorite time, STORYTIME! (https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/i-was-swallowed-by-a-hippo-and-ripped-apart-pauls-story-of-survival-defies-belief-c-5553718)  The link also allows you to watch Paul share the story, and he also wrote a book (https://books.apple.com/us/book/whats-left-of-me/id582646413?id=582646413&ign-mpt=uo%3D2)  about it. 

Here's another hippo attack story. (https://www.tampabay.com/news/hillsborough/2019/12/18/a-tampa-bay-woman-survived-a-2018-hippo-attack-now-she-tells-her-story/)
