Frogs rain down on an Alicante village
May 27, 2007
Locals said they were the size of a fingernail
A rather odd event was reported by the Alicante newspaper
'Información' this weekend, which happened in the small Alicante
village of El Rebolledo, near Sant Vicent del Raspeig last Thursday:
thousands of tiny frogs, the size of a fingernail, falling from the
sky.
An expert climatologist quoted after a similar occurrence in the
Serbian town of Odzaci in June 2005 said the phenomenon is 'not very
unusual' and is a 'recognised scientific phenomenon.'
He said it happens when a whirlwind sucks up the frogs from a body of
water and carries them elsewhere to drop them on the ground.
