Fish Fall From the Sky

Posted by NG Kids in News Bites on March 5, 2010

The residents of the tiny Australian town of Lajamanu were surprised to see fish falling from the sky in late February, reports Australia’s Northern Territory News. Surprisingly, the fish were still alive when they landed. The falling fish may have been sucked up along with water during a tornado and dropped back to earth hundreds of miles away.

    I’m sure the fishermen were excited… “Just grab a plate, honey, and you’ll catch your own fish!”

    I’m pretty sure that about 90 fisherman were scared because they where in the ocean and a shark came.
