Fish Rain This morning, when I woke up from my sleep, my friend suddenly told me that there was a rain fish in Australia. I was like, “Seriously? Was that true?” I used to hear about the stone rain but for fish rain, it is kind of weird. So, this is what I found from the internet. “A waterspout can sometimes successfully suck small objects like fish out of the water and all the way up into the cloud. Even if the waterspout stops spinning, the fish in the cloud can be carried over land, buffeted up and down and around with the cloud’s winds until its currents no longer keep the flying fish in the atmosphere. It’s like the fish are swimming in the cloud, says Renno. Depending on how far they travel and how high they are taken into the atmosphere, the fish are sometimes dead by the time they rain down. People as far as 100 miles inland have experienced raining fish, he explains. Fish can also be sucked up from rivers. The Henniges’ condo is just one mile above Lake Natoma and the Nimbus fish hatchery, where they think the fish came from. Carl Hennige writes in an e-mail that there was “an enormous windstorm” just before the fish fell. “ So, the fishes actually have been sucked out from the lakes during the hurricane and after that all of the fishes fall down to another place and people call it fish rain. So, if frogs, prawns or another small animals fall down , does we call it the same as fish rain ?
