It's all too easy to complain whenever it's a rainy day outside, but hey, it could always be worse; at least our rain doesn't tend to have pointy teeth (or, y'know, doesn't tend to be ALIVE). That's right; there's been more than a few documented cases in history where animals have literally rained from the sky!
It all started one day in 1857, when a rain of lizards fell on Montreal, Canada
Not to be outdone, South Carolina had a rain of ALLIGATORS in 1877
Apparently 1877 was the year of animal rain, because a rain of snakes happened in Memphis, Tennessee
In 1894, the city of Bath, England traded baths for a shower... of jellyfish!
It only gets weirder from here folks...
South Carolina just can't catch a break; live fish fell from the sky in 1901
The animal rains stopped for nearly 50 years, but alas, in Marksville, Louisiana in 1947, fish rained from the sky
After another 50 years, it happened again; a man was struck on the head by a falling frozen squid in the Falkland Islands
2009 saw a rain of dead tadpoles over Japan, which has been blamed on birds
In something straight out of all of our worst nightmares, Brazil saw a rain of thousands of spiders, which immediately started coating the place in web
Hungary saw a rain of tiny frogs in 2010. Looks like we're all still safe... for now.
What kind of animal rain would freak you out the most?
