Imagine seeing rainclouds approaching; listening as the rain starts pouring, but upon closer inspection, intermingled in the raindrops was none other than little, unfortunate, tadpoles. On Jun 4th, in a small town in Japan, this happened. Apparently, around 100 tadpoles measuring from 2-3 cm long were found in a 300 square meter area in Nanao.
They were on cars, in the grass, on the pavement and were, unfortunately for the tadpoles, dead on arrival.It was reported that there was a strange sound and then the "rain" started falling. Apparently, this sort of thing has been recorded in the past, but typically occurs when weather patterns are already rough (funneling the wildlife up into the clouds). In this instance, the weather leading up to the incident was completely uneventful making this seem to be a mystery.
In the town of Hakusan, two days later, the same thing happened only with small fish.
Gives new meaning to the phrase "raining cats and dogs", doesn't it?Pictures and more info found here
