Over the preceding week , extremely weird thing have been fall from the sky in Asia . Mega - hail destroyed almost 10,000 homes in China , while bushed animate being have been rain from the clouds in Japan ( pictured : pollywog on a car ) .
Although blogs like Pink Tentaclehave been reportingthe tadpole rains of Japan for over a week now , the news is finally hitting mainstream retail store . plainly small Pisces as well as tadpoles are falling on various districts in Japan . Usually they ’re utter by the metre they polish off the ground . One man claimed he ground 13 midget carp had rain down onto his car . Nobody has occur forward with a good theory about how they have gotten into pelting clouds , nor has anyone been able to explain what might have changed recently to make this happen .
According to theUK Guardian :
One popular theory is that the creatures were suck up by waterspout but meteorologist say no strong wind have been report in the areas where polliwog were found . One expert say gust too weak to be picked up by observation tower might have sucked up small quantity of water , along with a few inauspicious polliwog . ornithologist pronounce it was too early too dominate out their feathered friends .
Kimimasa Tokikuni , head of the Ishikawa offset of the Japanese Society for the Preservation of Birds , secernate the Yomiuri Shimbun that bigger birds , such as herons and black - tailed fall guy , might have dropped the tadpoles after being disturb in mid - flight .
But the startled bird theory fails to answer a simple question : why have n’t the “ flying ” tadpoles been notice before ?
Less unusual but no less alarming have been this spate of mega - hail storms in China of late . Giant hail stones , combined with winds up to 62 Admiralty mile per 60 minutes , trounce thousands of houses and injured hundreds of masses over the last week . Xenophilia reports :
recuperation efforts have begin in eastern China following a knockout hail storm on Sunday that killed at least 14 people and destroyed yard of home base .
Hail stones and steer of more than 100 km/h ( 62 miles per hour ) lash the province for nigh 90 arcminute , deracinate trees and scattering junk across roads .
The Civil Affairs bureau in Anhui province suppose more than 10,000 masses had to be taken to pinch shelter .
I suppose you could call this climate change , since in fact it does represent a change in the climate . peculiarly the tadpoles . But I have to include it seems like something a lot weirder than that .
