It rained frogs

Isabel apparently rained frog eggs on Connecticut. In fact, strange winds picking up items and setting them down far away is not rare.

I recall a TV news report on a rain of tomatoes that no one seemed to be comfortable believing was completely natural. The label for the interviewed resident of the tomato-covered house was "pelting victim."

Rains of frogs, while seemingly biblical, are well-documented worldwide. Fish rained in Britain in 1997. Something rained in Little House on the Prairie, too. Yes, it is weird. Random rains happen. Accept this or have cognitive dissonance!
