Transcript

This book explores the strange phenomena of odd showers, where creatures like fish and insects or substances like red rain seem to fall from the sky. It explains that these events are not supernatural omens but are caused by natural forces like waterspouts and hurricanes. For instance, in eighteen fifty-nine, residents of Mountain Ash in Glamorganshire experienced a heavy rain that brought down a large quantity of small fish, some measuring four inches long. Even more bizarre are the insect showers along the Saint Lawrence River, where so many shad-flies fall at once that the air looks like it is filled with a heavy snowstorm. Next time you are caught in a downpour, just remember that it might be more than just water falling from the clouds. Did you know that some red rain is actually caused by blood-colored drops left behind by swarms of butterflies?
