India: Fish rain from sky in bizarre weather phenomenon

Authorities in Telegana have declared a red alert for twelve districts over the next five days as severe flooding has impacted millions of people.

National highways have been waterlogged, which has caused problems for emergency services attempting to reach ravaged villages and towns.

Yet the most bizarre occurrence of all occurred last weekend, when during the aftermath of a severe downpour onlookers were shocked to discover a sea of fish littering the roads and streets, apb reported.

Even more shocking was the fact many of them still appeared to be alive, and were flapping frantically in the street having been whisked miles away from the sea by the monsoon.

‘People of Sai Nagar in Jagtial town woke up to a surprise on both Friday and Saturday as they found fish ‘rain’ from the sky.’

India is currently in the midst of its most severe monsoon season in years, which has already claimed the lives of over 130 people, CNN reports.
