It is true - I saw a special on it on National Geographic Channel. A huge storm swept up a bunch of frogs and deposited them on this town. Science can usually explain things like this. Here is a link with more!

The Associated Press, on 8th July 1997, reported that on Saturday 5th July, at around 11 pm, it rained toads in the Mexican town of Villa Angel Flores, in the Pacific Coast state of Sinaloa. Apparently a "mini tornado" picked them up from a pond and dumped them on the town.Sometimes it's berries, sometimes it's fish, and sometimes of course, the classic frog falls. Charles Fort's Book of the Damned (1919), New Lands (1923), and Lo! (1931) [4] record many of these reports of weird organic and apparently manufactured "rain" from all over the world, with all sorts of interesting ingredients, including alabaster, ants, ashes, beef, beetle larvae, berries, bitumen, blood, butter, charcoal, china fragments (naturally vitrified?), cinders, coal, cobwebs, coins, crabs, crayfish, eels, fish, flesh, gelatinous matter, grain, hay, ice, iron balls, jelly fish, limestone, lizards, mud, mussels, oyster shells, periwinkles, quartz, resin, salt, sand, sandalwood, seeds, silk, snails, snakes, spawn, spiders, carved and shaped stones, turtles, and of course, toads and frogs. But never all at once, you understand.

I have heard that before. There is a strange phenominon (sp!) and I am sure a French town was showered with herring.
People are unsure why specific species are involved..
Have you tried Snopes.com?
They are very good for curing all sorts of urban legends!
