People in Iran had to run for cover as ‘fish rain‘ meant sealife fell from the sky following bad weather, according to videos on social media.
Footage of the alleged rare phenomenon reportedly took place in Iran on Monday during heavy rains in the Yasuj region, with several videos going viral afterwards. Something, however, smells a bit fishy so we at the Daily Star will let you make up you’re own mind as to whether it’s a just hoax or indeed an extremely bizarre event.
In one clip on a main road, a man gets out of his car as fish drop all around him. He picks up one of the fish and it is still alive, despite a harsh impact with the ground.
The phenomenon is triggered by waterspouts that lift small marine life and this incident follows reports of a hurricane in the Yasuj region. Or quite possibly, caused someone lobbing fish freshly caught from the sea up in the air for a viral video to get our tails wagging.
“There is nothing supernatural in this. One hypothesis is that tornado-style spouts sometimes catch creatures such as fish or frogs and carry them for miles. As the wind speed gradually decreases, living things fall in the rainwater,” said a climate expert, quoted by Sanook.
“The ocean has provided the people of Iran with dinner tonight,” one person said in response to the clip.
