“Don’t know about eels, but raining frogs or tadpoles is supposed to be a sign of impending war.”

It is actually a sign of a tornado. If a tornado passes over a pond it will suck all the water and everything in the water up into the clouds. When the tornadic activity subsides the items that were sucked up will rain down to earth.

True, that is the scientific answer, but my mom’s uncle told me maybe 55 years ago when I read about this in a comic book, that there were cultures which saw raining frogs as a sign of coming hostilities. Old wives tale? Sure but it must have had some smidgen of fact.

Must be awful when a tornado passes over a dairy farm.
