I believe that has happened.There is a Scientific explanation. Weird rain is one of the more bizarre - and still largely unexplained - phenomena that is periodically (yet continually) reported from all corners of the globe. There have been accounts of frog rain, fish rain, squid rain, worm rain, even alligator rain. The logical explanation for the odd occurrences is that a tornado or strong whirlwind picked up the animals from a shallow body of water and carried them - sometimes for hundreds of miles - before dropping them on a bewildered populace. This explanation has yet to be proved, and it can't quite account for all of the documented incidents, as you'll see below Posting Comment...

Only if a bomber plane was loaded with swarms of frogs and they are periodically dropped inside the center of the storm. They are not allowed to use cats or dogs because the SPCA won't allow for mass unexplained adoptions. PETA might stop the whole thing from happening in the first place if they happen to catch wind of this illegal operation so if you plan on doing this, I suggest you be very careful and if you're on the ground to own a Kevlar umbrella or run for shelter. There could be an outbreak in disease due to all the rotting frog corpses after the storm has ended.

Yes. Most of those ocurrances have to do with waterspouts. "a small-diameter column of rapidly swirling air in contact with a water surface. Waterspouts are almost always produced by a swiftly growing cumulus cloud. They may assume many shapes and often occur in a series, called a waterspout family, produced by the same upward-moving air current. Waterspouts are closely related to other atmospheric phenomena such as tornadoes…" http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9076273/waterspout I like the explanation given in "The Straight Dope", an always amusing site: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a901207a.html

oh you know what, I saw a clip of it in the game "scene it" and that's what triggered my thought.

It did happen once. They got sucked up in a water spout and got rained down a little way away.

Yes and fish and even in a truly bad storm, tractors :o)
-
yes its true. I did a report on hail along time ago and i learned that turtles, frogs, and fish have all been known to fall from the sky, because they get caught in the water cycle. I read that they can sometimes get frozen inside of hail and fall to the ground. I thought it was kind of funny.

Yes, and it's happened before. It's also happened with salamanders, fish, etc. Some people believe that this is the doing of extraterrestrials.

Yeah if you take something illegal!

I have heard stories that is was true but how odd it would be to actually witness it!! Never rains money though:(
