Rain of Tadpoles and Dead Fish in Ishikawa Prefecture

Ishikawa mystery deepens: First tadpoles rain down; now dead fish found

Thursday 11th June, 04:43 PM JST
KANAZAWA —
A mystery is deepening in Ishikawa Prefecture after dead fish were found on the ground this week following the discovery of a large number of dead tadpoles in parking lots earlier this month. Local residents speculate that the tadpoles and fish might have fallen from the sky after being sucked up by a waterspout or carried by birds. But the cause has not been confirmed.

About 10 dead fish 2 to 3 centimeters long were found Tuesday near the house of a 78-year-old man and on a minivan in the town of Nakanoto in the prefecture. There is no river running near the house.

On June 4, about 100 dead tadpoles were found in a parking lot in the city of Nanao in the prefecture or on the windshields of cars after a 55-year-old man heard an unusual noise that sounded like something falling.

Some 20 to 30 dead tadpoles were also discovered last Saturday in a parking lot in the city of Hakusan in the prefecture.

Could also just be kids dumping their catch...

I've been known to shoot tadpoles across the room and off the wall, but this sounds like rain spouts (a mini-tornado). They cross waterways and dump small fish and the like on down their path....
