Slow day.........Flying fishhhhhhhhh It’s Raining Fish Storm Sweeps Fish From Sea, Drops Them on Town By Lucrezia Cuen L O N D O N, Aug. 7 — British residents say there was a clap of thunder, followed by a rip of lightning and then to their surprise — the skies opened up and rained fish onto the seaside village of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Retired ambulance driver Fred Hodgkins, 65, told Britain’s Metro the skies went black during a heavy thunderstorm, and what he first thought to be hail began to rain down on his yard. On closer inspection he discovered the ‘hail’ was scores of tiny silver fish. “At first I thought I might have something wrong with my eyes,” he said. “The fish were all dead, although they looked fresh as if they had come out of the sea.” A Small Tornado Turns out they were pretty fresh. A spokesman for the British Meteorological Office (The Met) says a small tornado spun off a thunderstorm over the North Sea this weekend and apparently swept up the fish. The mini-tornado carried the fish two miles before the cloud burst depositing them on the resort village. “These are not unheard of events but obviously rare,” said the Met spokesman said. “People were calling us pretty surprised. It’s not what you expect, especially early in the morning before you’ve gone to the pub.”
