Radio set to tomorrow's date predicted weather and gas leak
A neighbor's radio accurately forecast rain, hail, and a dangerous gas leak before Hollis discovered the apartment empty and the radio unplugged.
A voice through Hollis' bedroom wall named the exact minute rain would begin. His neighbor kept a late night radio station playing low. The host said rain would start at 2:10. It was Tuesday. Rain tapped Hollis' window right on time.
Warnings that came true
A week later, the same host warned of hail. Hollis moved his car under the building. Hail came the next afternoon.
The station later reported a gas leak in Hollis' apartment. He called the landlord, who found a cracked fitting behind the stove. After that, the radio stayed quiet for days.
The empty apartment
Hollis knocked next door. The landlord opened it with his master key. The apartment was empty and dusty.
Against the shared bedroom wall sat an unplugged radio. Its dial was set to tomorrow's date.
