A rainstorm in Minneapolis in 1901 caused several inches of frogs to appear, blocking all travel in the area.

Later in 1981, the people of southern Greece woke up one morning to find their entire town covered in frogs that had dropped in the night. Fish have also been recorded to fall from the sky during a rainstorm, as was the case in Singapore in 1861.

Andre-Marie Ampere hypothesized that frogs and toads roam the coutryside in large numbers and when a storm hits, the winds are strong enough to pick up the amphibians and carry them elsewhere before dropping them down as the storm dies out.

Frogs and fish do not evaporate, do not fly, and yet somehow fall onto streets, umbrellas, and even hats and heads.

According to "National Geographic," the first explanation of these strange happenings came from the French physicist Andre-Marie Ampere who hypothesized that frogs and toads roam the countryside in large numbers and when a storm hits, the winds are strong enough to pick up the amphibians and carry them elsewhere before dropping them down as the storm dies out.       

These creatures are pretty hardy, too. Most survive, albeit a little confused, and they are not the only ones. People have been fascinated by this phenomenon since the early Bible times with Moses' plagues on Egypt.      

Other animals have been reported to have fallen from the sky including worms, jellyfish, a cow, and even an alligator. While these accounts are particularly peculiar, the frogs and fish falling from the sky are not uncommon and can happen at any storm in most any place.
