Fish from the sky?

[MoCarp]

seems its possible and has been documented, my father told me as a boy a time minnows came raining down when he was weeding their garden in Rochester, NY perhaps many fish get moved that way, it is odd how green sunfish show up in a isolated farm pond a mile from any road and no-one even knew the pond was even there

When I was young and dumb, etc...my buddies and I once caused one of these rumors of fish raining from the sky in our home town.  We'd seined about a thousand minnows one night (it's easier to seine at night) and were driving through the middle of town with them in an open bed pickup about midnight, in the rain.  Taking off from the only blinking red stoplight in town (in retrospect, way too fast) the big cooler we were keeping them in tipped over.  For the next block or so, minnows flowed off the open tailgate of the truck.  The next morning, after the rain, there were all those minnows on the street, some still swimming in puddles from the rain.  It caused quite a stir.
