Several residents in Texarkana posted pictures and videos to social media Wednesday after finding fish scattered in some unlikely places including their lawns and sidewalks.

There was no reported severe weather so maybe someone was clearing out their aquarium.

“Animals like frogs, crabs, and small fish are then rained down when the forecast calls for showers.”

LOL what? So if the forecast calls for fog they just float around up there indefinitely?

Who writes this stuff?

Would you believe, a mini Sharknado?

Would you believe, a micro Sharknado?

How about a micro-mini Sharknado?

So merely a forecast for showers brings down fish. Where do the fish get their forecast from so they will know when to jump off the cloud?

The same writers that forecast the weather many years in advance.
And believe the BS they push!

I have read that Amazon dominates the cloud.

Therefore, Mr Bezos makes the call.

When I skydived years ago, the veterans who skydived would tell stories about troop deployments above thunderstorms and troops getting carried in the storm for a couple miles from their drop target because their chutes were deployed as they exited the aircraft. Often wondered why they didn’t release their main chute,drop and deploy their emergency chute.
