While the phrase ‘raining cats and dogs’ is commonly used to describe heavy rain, it’s important to note that it doesn’t actually result in feline or canine precipitation. However, there have been instances where fish fell from the sky during rain in Iran.
It is uncommon for objects to fall from the sky, occurrences like frozen airplane garbage or debris from spacecraft do happen. Similarly, although rare, there have been documented instances of fish raining down during storms.
