What Causes Fish Fall From the Sky?
Normally, fish do not fall from the sky, but this odd meteorological event is possible, albeit rare. Strong air disturbances, such as tornadoes, can raise water and fish into the air, which is the best explanation for this strange event.
The tornado can then carry them for a short distance. When the tornado weakens, its force is no longer capable of lifting anything off the ground, and it begins to rain fish.
This is sometimes known as Animal Rainfall. However, it is most frequently known as Raining Fish.
