Rain dogs and cats?
Can it really rain cats and dogs? Well, maybe not cats and dogs, but fish, shells and frogs have really fallen from the sky on rare occasions.
In 1984, live flounders fell on a London neighbourhood. How did they get there? Perhaps a waterspout had lifted them to cloud level from the Thames River and then deposited them several miles away.
On August 6th, 2000, the fishing port of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England also had a shower of fish. In a storm in England in 1844, people held out hats to catch falling frogs.
Other incidences of living things falling from the sky are reported here.
