A video captures the moment a man wakes up after a possum falls through a person’s ceiling that had been damaged during Hurricane Harvey.
‘I had been in bed for about an hour waiting for the sleeping pill to kick in. Right as it kicked in this happened. Really didn’t want to get up but obviously had to,’ the man wrote online. He lives in Houston, Texas.
When he investigated, he found a possum running around in the room next door.
