no you may tell for particular, because of the fact it extremely is such an previous asserting, yet there are some possibilities. some say it extremely is derived from mythology. Odin, the god of storms, became attended by capacity of canine or wolves, and sailors linked them with rain. Witches, who have been linked with cats, have been additionally pronounced to journey the wind. whether it would additionally originate from the previous tale that for the duration of throughout the 1500's properties had thatched roofs, and animals lived up there because of the fact it became the only heat place.for the duration of storms they might slip off the roof and be drawn away by capacity of a circulate of water. it extremely is no longer as in all likelihood, whether, considering the fact that whether canine or cats relatively lived interior the roof, they might might desire to take a seat down on the outdoors to be swept away by capacity of rain. And the outdoors won't be the suitable look after for the duration of a typhoon, now could be it? the main in all likelihood version is that interior the 1700-1800's, ineffective animals could be swept alongside the line by capacity of a circulate of water. Jonathan rapid wrote a satirical poem approximately it, which somebody already indexed.

I would like to see elephants with $100 bills in their trunks fall from the sky. But, animals actually have fallen from the sky. I am quoting this:
=========
Fish
A powerful whirlwind might explain a rain of small fish, but it cannot account for the ones that fell on a village in India. As many as 10 people reported picking up fish that weighed as much as eight pounds that had come crashing down on them.
In February, 1861, folks in many areas of Singapore reported a rain of fish following an earthquake. How could the two possibly correlate?
Golfers dread gathering clouds and a rain that might ruin their game. But imagine the consternation of several duffers in Bournemouth, England, in 1948 who received a shower of herring.
Priests often pray for blessings from above... but fish? In 1966, Father Leonard Bourne was dashing through a downpour across a courtyard in North Sydney, Australia, when a large fish fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder. The priest nearly caught it as it slid down his chest, but it squirmed away, fell to the flooded ground and swam away.
These things don't always happen in a heavy rain. In 1989, in Ipswich, Australia, Harold and Degen's front lawn was covered with about 800 "sardines" that rained from above during a light shower.
This report is most unusual: In an otherwise clear sky in Chilatchee, Alabama in 1956, a woman and her husband watched as a small dark cloud formed in the sky. When it was overhead, the cloud released its contents: rain, catfish, bass and bream - all of the fish alive. The dark cloud had turned to white, then dispersed.
Frogs
In 1873, Scientific American reported that Kansas City, Missouri was blanketed with frogs that dropped from the sky during a storm.
Minneapolis, Minnesota was pelted with frogs and toads in July, 1901. A news item stated: "When the storm was at its highest... there appeared as if descending directly from the sky a huge green mass. Then followed a peculiar patter, unlike that of rain or hail. When the storm abated the people found, three inches deep and covering an area of more than four blocks, a collection of a most striking variety of frogs... so thick in some places [that] travel was impossible."
The citizens of Naphlion, a city in southern Greece, were surprised one morning in May, 1981, when they awoke to find small green frogs falling from the sky. Weighing just a few ounces each, the frogs landed in trees and plopped into the streets. The Greek Meteorological Institute surmised they were picked up by a strong wind. It must have been a very strong wind. The species of frog was native to North Africa!
In 1995, reports Fortean Times Online, Nellie Straw of Sheffield, England, was driving through Scotland on holiday with her family when they encountered a severe storm. Along with the heavy rain, however, hundreds of frogs suddenly pelted her car.
