A storm in Sri Lanka caused 50 kilograms of fish to literally rain from the sky in the town of Chilaw last Monday.
The fish were very small, from 5 to 8 centimeters in length, according to the BBC. Scientists believe that strong winds from a storm likely swept the fish out of the water. This isn’t the first reported case of raining fish in Sri Lanka.
BBC forecaster Steve Cleaton explained the phenomenon.
“In the Sri Lankan storm, a tornado probably formed over land, drifted over river systems or coastal waters and sucked up light fish that were lifted all the way into the base of the storm cloud. Later the fish were rained out of the cloud.”
