Fish rain in Iran leaves pedestrians and motorists surprised
Pedestrians and motorists in a city in Iran were left shocked when a shower of fish fell on a road, captured on video and quickly going viral. The fish that fell were still alive and even jumped as if they had just come out of the water. The event took place in the Iranian city of Yasuj, approximately 280 kilometers from the nearest beach, after an intense storm hit the area.
Raining fish is a rare meteorological phenomenon, but several cases have been recorded around the world. Studies suggest that small tornadoes can absorb fish from their habitat and transport them into storm clouds, causing them to fall along with the rain. While fish usually do not survive the impact or freeze in low temperatures, this occurrence is not unheard of.
Although fish rain is the most well-known, history has documented rains of other animals such as frogs, spiders, and even snakes. This unusual event in Iran has puzzled many, with no clear explanation yet. The viral video of the fish rain has sparked interest and speculation, adding to the mystery behind this extraordinary occurrence.
