There have been tales of frogs, shells, snails, fish and even starfish falling.
This often happens because a violent storm forms over areas where there are shallower waters, such as lagoons, creeks and ponds, causing updraughts. These updraughts take small, light creatures from shallower waters into the atmosphere, then travel a little distance (maybe up to many kilometres inland), dumping them somewhere else later.
There is an expression - "raining cats and dogs". This does not mean that cats and/or dogs are literally falling from the sky, it simply means that it is raining very hard.
Raining animals, such as fish or frogs falling from the sky, can occur due to meteorological events like tornadoes or waterspouts that lift the animals from bodies of water and deposit them elsewhere. These rare occurrences have been documented in various parts of the world throughout history, sparking fascination and scientific study.

According to Mythology, when it is raining it is the clouds that are crying.
