Shocking News to Recall: Fishes rained instead of water in West Sri Lankan.

Villagers in west Sri Lanka have said they
have been surprised and delighted by an
unusual rainfall of small fish.
The edible fish fell during a storm and are
believed to have been lifted out of a river
during a strong wind.
Villagers in the district of Chilaw said they
heard something heavy falling and found
scores of fish with a total weight of 50kg
(110lbs).
It is not the first such incident in Sri Lanka -
in 2012, a case of "prawn rain" was
recorded in the south.
Scientists say that "fish rain" usually occurs
when swirling whirlwinds over relatively
shallow water develops into waterspouts
and sucks in almost anything in the water
including fish, eels and even frogs.
The marine life can be carried long distances
by buffeting clouds even when the
waterspout stops spinning.
Villagers say that the "fish rain shower" took
place on Monday with the creatures falling
on the village green, roads and roofs.
Some of the fish - each three to five inches
(5cm-8cm) in length - were still alive and
were put in a buckets of water by villagers
who ate them later.
This is the third time this has happened in
Sri Lanka, but not from the same area.
In addition to the reported "prawn rain" of
2012 in the south, there was yellow and red
"meteor rain" the same year - a weather
development that is reportedly still being
investigated by US and British scientists.
Fish is a valued commodity in Sri Lanka.
On Monday the Sri Lankan Daily Mirror
reported that a fish trader was robbed of
450,000 rupees ($3,450/£2,030) by four
men - one disguised as a policeman - who
intercepted his lorry.
