Please leave some sort of proof.

Yes.
Nothing to do with religion. Water spouts, tornadoes, etc, suck up all sorts of stuff, and it can rain down hundreds of miles away.

There seems to be an Urban legend floating around saying that somewhere in the mid-west there was a tornado in one town that picked up a large pond full of frogs and deposited the frogs and water fom the lake in another town in the semblence of a rain storm.Don't know if it's true or not but it seems plausible.Go figure.

OK...this has happened, but it was a weird event that occured a couple of times some years ago and some years apart due to storms. I suggest going over to snopes.com and looking in their search engine for proof.
PS. You asked me to "leave some sort of proof" I hope my answer is enough, and I trust the proof you are asking for is not a frog.

Yes it is true - and more than once. There are explanations for this though. Check it out on the links below!
I have had my own experience, only not frogs. We lived a few blocks from a large cemetery pond. We had a wicked storm that night, and suddenly we heard a lot louder sound than mere water. It was raining hundreds and hundreds of black and yellow spotted salamandars! They surprisingly mostly lived, only a few casualties, and then by next morning they were on the trek back to their home. Strangest thing we ever saw. (the girl next door got home from her date and neither had noticed the slimy creatures in the rain, and the shreaks that came out of that girl when she got out of the car and slid on them were wild - but his were even wilder! lol

Well in 1901 in Minneapolis (You can look this up on the web). It's said that it rained frogs up to three inches deep. The weather bureau believes that it's due to strong winds in storms that sucks things up like a vacuum, and drops them in different areas. So I guess that rules out raining. Being blown in is a better explanation.

I am going to poke around, but someone shared with me once that there was a tornado that actually picked up water from one location and that included fish, and in this particular case, it was like, serious frog habitat, and the tornado dropped the frogs and fish in an all together different location.
I have to try and find that story/source, but yes. I have heard of this.

After it rains there are always frogs on the road that you don't see there when the road is dry.

I seriously doubt it.
("But the Bible said it, so it MUST be true!")
Actually, I take it back. It rained frogs the other day when I was using dynamite to go fishing...

Yes, it is a phenomenon. It happes when a storm picks up water from the earth and brings it up to the storm in the clouds. In the water there were tadpoles. Storms have been known to last weeks and so when the tapboles grow to the point until the wind and weather conditions can't keep them in the air they then...fall to the ground.
