This is an actual phenomenon that can happen and according to the official website of the National Geographic, animal rains can be caused when animals get swept up in waterspouts or updrafts, and then fall to Earth with raindrops. The photos of the fish that were uploaded by the Facebook page of The City of Texarkana, Texas – are quite an interesting sight to behold.
They started the caption off by writing , “2021 is pulling out all the tricks… including raining fish in Texarkana today. And no, this isn’t a joke.” Then, they further explained this meteorological phenomenon, “Animal rain is a phenomenon that occurs when small water animals like frogs, crabs, and small fish are swept up in waterspouts or drafts that occur on the surface of the earth. They are then rained down at the same time as the rain.”
