I don’t know what to think about the mysterious fish rain phenomenon.
But according to local newspapers, fish rained in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia on February 2, 2016. What the heck…
Unusual fish rain occurred on Sunday at 11:30 am in Dire Dawa City Eastern part of Ethiopia for a few minutes both in rural and urban areas. The weird phenomenon was featured on the first page of The Ethiopian Herald:
According to Dire Dawa Agriculture, Water, Mining and Energy Bureau Public Relations Officer Hadera Yesuf the fish rain happened in Dechatu and Finfinne or 05 and 06 kebeles of urban areas as well as Eyawale Woreda, Adada kebele in rural Dire Dawa.
People in these areas were stunned by the occurrence to the extent of referring it a blessing from Almighty God, she said.
According to Wikipedia, raining animals is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which flightless animals fall from the sky. This helped me a lot 🙂
