Does fish fall with rains from the sky?

Question

There have been cases of live fish being caught in sewages without river connections and far from rivers,with a high concrete wall all around.

Answer 1

Fish are transported almost everywhere...not by rainfall....but by birds...................

Answer 2

While fish and frogs falling from the sky is not a common occurrence, it has been reported many times around the world, with or without exaggerated embellishment.

Here is how it can happen:

The most likely means by which fish, frogs or any other object (books, a box of chickens, cows, letters have also been reported "falling" from the sky) are lifted aloft is through the passage of a tornado or waterspout. The strong updrafts can lift objects to great heights within a thunderstorm cloud and carried long distances.

When a tornado passes over the ground, it may sweep objects into its circulation and then throw them out again, kind of like a discus thrower. If the item is lightweight like a fish or a small frog, it may be caught in the strong storm/cloud updrafts for a long time, rising higher and higher until it is finally thrown out or drops out like a hailstone. (There is a report of an ice-covered turtle falling from a storm cloud!)

If the item is very heavy, it may not go very far ,and just tumble and jump along the ground, travelling some distance before coming to rest. Observers may think they saw it fall from the sky although it likely did not reach a high altitude.

High winds such as found in a hurricane may keep objects aloft for many miles, allowing them to fall far from their point of origin. Roofs, billboards, and other large, flat object can act as a sail or wing and be tossed high in the air. Even if an item is heavy, strong winds may roll and tumble it until it is hundreds of feet from its original location as has been reported for cars, trucks, and boats.

Answer 3

In a few cases, raining fish have been observed after they were picked up out of the ocean by a tornado, which then went over some land and dissipated. However, this is very rare and under most conditions a fish would not be able to fall from the sky in any way. My guess is, with the fish in the sewage system, somebody must have put them there.

Answer 4

Fish, amongst other things like frogs for instance have been reported falling from the sky. The reason that is given is that waterspouts, (like tornadoes but over water) suck up the fish or small life forms in the area it is formed, then when the waterspout dissipates, the fish are released to fall back to Earth from the sky, resulting in a large rainfall containing fish.

Answer 5

ever consider the fact tht maybe the fish came from the sewage which has been connected to a toilet and someone flushed a fish down the toilet, how do you think a fish could go up in the sky? its too heavy to be evaporated

Answer 6

Could be. Fish were falling from the sky with the rain in the middle ages, and frogs too. This is true. Find out.

Answer 7

Yes it is 100% possible that fish can fall from the sky.
Aquatic animals are the first form of life on earth.
Have a swimming pool filled with rain water and don't replace the water ever.After several days you will find fungus and even fish in there.

Answer 8

You know my dad told me about this and I did not believe it. I did actually see it for myself, this was in Mathis Tx, about 15 years ago, we were on vacation and they had a severe storm, there was little fish falling down with the rain. I don;t know how it happens, perhaps they are carried in a big cloud in a violent storm. I guess it depends on the size of the cloud and the severity of the storm. Anyway it was way awesome, It is the only time I have seen it.

Answer 9

I witnessed fall of small frogs twice several years ago. It is because some external reasons like strong winds from high places carrying these small creatures to lower places. Another idea of mine is that they are lifted up by tornadoes or strong storms when they are still eggs and fall down like rain and they hatch after arriving the ground. since no one has observed dead small frogs so far, this makes sense to me.

Answer 10

Fish falls are pretty much accepted as fact.

They are rare, but they happen. The fish are sucked up into clouds by weather systems then deposited inland along with rain.

There are many well documented cases from all parts of the world.

Here's an example:

Answer 11

Yes, rainfall containing fish, frogs and so on has been observed. They have been sucked up into the clouds by a funnel system like a tornado.
