OT: Unrest in rural Japan
 
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...10/2594885.htm

The rainy season has just started in Tokyo, but residents in a small coastal town have reported a different phenomenon: tadpoles dropping out of the sky.

An office clerk in Nanao first noticed the anomaly when he heard a dull thud in a parking lot last week, news reports said.

Looking around, he saw about 100 dead tadpoles splattered on car windscreens and on the ground.

More reports followed from bewildered residents in Nanao.

"People speculate that a waterspout picked them up and dropped them from the air," an official at a local weather observatory said.

"But from a meteorological point of view, I have to say it is most unlikely.

"We have checked the weather conditions of last week, thinking gusts of wind might have hit the area but confirmed no damage.

"To be honest, I don't think it was anything caused by a weather condition."

Similar events have been reported around the world, with whirlwinds passing over water bodies and picking up frogs, jellyfish or other unfortunate animals before dumping them back to earth.

...and that's what happens if you only sacrifice 9 virgins when casting Rain of Toads, folks.

Nonsense, this is what happens when Mictlan sacrifices three dozen virgins and sets it to happen...IN THE FUTURE! The toads got bored waiting in the clouds and they got busy.

All joking aside, I have seen this happen once. The birds were having a field day and I scooped up live ones from rain puddles to stick in my aquarium. This happened in northern Alabama about 200+ miles from the nearest coast.
