I suppose it could happen. It must have been from a nearby lake, certainly not the Gulf in Texarkana.

We stayed there one Sat. night when we were coming back from the Gulf and we wanted to go to church.

I looked in the yellow pages of the phone book and counted 13 Baptist churches, a couple of Luthern churches, and only one Catholic church, way on the N. side of town. We didn't make it to Mass that day.

My Grandad, a teller of tall tales, told us about a big rainstorm that he got caught in once. "It was raining so darn hard" he said, "that the fish couldn't make out where the surface of the lake was, and they swam up towards the sky. Then when the rain stopped, the fish began falling. That's the day it was raining fish!"

Oh, he had some dandy stories!

Different problem here. Gizzard shad die off. Bald Eagles picking them up and dropping the ones they don’t want. Some got close to bombing us.

I LIVE IN SW FLA AND A NUMBER OF YEARS Ago after a severe rain storm
My yard was full of walking catfish. I know they had to fall from the sky as most of them were around the perimeter of the house where they apparently slid off the roof

Looking it up, animal rain is pretty common around the world…maybe sharknado is next….
