September 29, 2017 — Sure, it’s been known to rain cats and dogs during some heavy thunderstorms. And if we’re to believe The Weather Girls — and who wouldn’t? — it was even raining men that one time in 1982.
But fish? That feels like a new one.
Yet during a light rain Tuesday morning in Tampico, Mexico, it appears that’s precisely what happened: Several fish fell from the sky, slapping the pavement right in front of a few startled onlookers, at least one of whom recorded some video.
That’s according to Pedro Granados, the director of civil protection in Tamaulipas state, who noted the reports and videos his agency had received from local residents.
“Not to say there were a lot of fish — one here, one there,” Granados told local media. “It has to be said, they’re very small fish, which weigh a few grams. It’s strange, not normal.”
