It’s raining fish in Australia
A small Australian town is being bombarded by fish from the sky.
The phenomenon is created by whirlwinds over water, which have enough power to lift fish out of the water and even empty the entire contents of a pond. This leads to other animals such as salamders and newts to also “rain from the sky”.
In the above instance, the fish have traveled a distance of at least 326 miles!
