“Several years ago a violent storm struck Pawleys Island and the Carolina coast. Two men riding in a car during the storm wondered what they should do.
One mad said, “We sure need the Gray Man to tell us whether or not we should leave.”
The other man responded quickly, “Well, there he is up ahead! Why don’t you ask him?”
And it was! They saw the figure of a man, dressed all in gray, his shoulders hunched up against the driving wind and rain, while he strode purposefully along the island road. They stopped the car near the man.
“Sir, are you the Gray Man?” one of them asked out the window.
“No!” the man exploded. His head bent against the rain.
The men in the car were disappointed. One said, “I’m sorry, sir. You’re dressed all in gray and out in this storm. No offense, sir.” They started to drive on.
“Look,” the man in the storm said, “I had a heart attack, and my doctor told me I had to exercise. So I’m going to exercise if it kills me!” And he plodded on.
The man was wearing a dull gray, knitted warm-up suit, with the hood pulled over his head.
Today we depend on the Weather Bureau for warnings, watches, and evacuation notices in the face of a threatening hurricane or coastal storm. Certainly you should heed these warnings. But if you happen to see the Gray Man—take his advice and leave quickly!”
