OP
It's too bad, as the original photo of the tornado is much more impressive, IMO.

The phenomenon is not restricted to history. The village of Yoro in Honduras celebrates the annual Festival de la Lluvia de Peces, to commemorate the rain of small, silvery fish that allegedly happens at least once a year. And in 2005, thousands of itty-bitty frogs reportedly rained down on a town in northwestern Serbia. The frogs, different from those usually seen in the area, survived the fall and hopped around in search of water, according to one news story.
Still more peculiar rains reported over history have included hay, snakes, maggots, seeds, nuts, stones and shredded meat (that last one is suspected to have dropped from a boisterous flock of feeding vultures), Barnett writes. She even found one account of a rain of golf balls in Floridapotentially linked to a waterspout crossing over a golf course.
