Last weekend in the Iranian city of Yasuj, hundreds of fish fell from the sky, hitting several cars and blocking traffic on a road in the city.
Videos shared on social media show that locals don’t want to believe what they’re seeing and have to pick up the fish to make sure it’s real.
Is it raining fish? Yes, it is possible
Although it sounds like a scene from a science fiction movie, this type of “rain” has occurred on many occasions and has a logical explanation. This is due to very strong weather phenomenon.
According to ‘National Geographic’, the A phenomenon known as “animal rain” occurs when fish or other animals are drawn from rivers or lakes and drawn into clouds and fall as rain.
Scientists say that cyclones cause fish to rain. When a cyclone crosses an ocean or sea, it catches fish, frogs, turtles or crabs with the force of the wind.
Animals move with the whirlwind and stay in the sky until the wind slows down. As gradual subsidence occurs, organisms fall to the ground along with rainwater. In this case, a “rain of fish” will form.
