Raining animals - wow - have you guys experienced this? It's actually a natural, meteorological phenomenon that have been happening here on earth as the history tells. Although seldom that a person will believe in this, scientific explanations have been published to support this theory. So, what really "raining animals" is all about? Scientists say that when very strong winds, like when tornadoes and strong typhoons occur, fly over a body of water, say a pond or a river, it sometimes pick up creatures like fishes and even frogs, then carry it to some miles away. Other explanations states that the extraction of these animals may not be that so distant as some of these creatures survive the fall and will display normal behavior afterwards. In other incidents, falling animals are frozen or inside an ice enclosure, but sometimes only shredded body parts reaches the ground. Pretty much interesting natural phenomenon, huh? This will keep me thinking until I actually see fishes pouring on me during the rain.

I see it only on the news but I never experience it. I would love to actually witness this phenomena because it's exciting and scary at the same time.

Maybe that's where the phrase "it's raining cats and dogs" came from!
