New Everyday Mystery: Can it rain frogs, fish, and other objects?

There have been reports of raining frogs and fish dating back to ancient civilization. Of course, it doesn't "rain" frogs or fish in the sense that it rains water - no one has ever seen frogs or fish vaporize into the air before a rainfall. However, strong winds, such as those in a tornado or hurricane, are powerful enough to lift animals, people, trees, and houses. It is possible that they could suck up a school of fish or frogs and "rain" them elsewhere.
