#FolkloreThursday Thread: I can vividly remember once walking through the garden hopping with tiny black frogs...After a late spring thunderstorm rumbled away...I must have been 6 or 7 or thereabouts... 
I also remember that for a while I ran out after every storm looking for frogs...Eventually I stopped...I guess frog showers were not that common even then...
BTW, this frog rain memory was not a product of my overactive imagination. Frog showers do happen...It is now believed that these apparently inexplicable weather events are caused by small, localised tornadoes known as waterspouts...
As they pass over the sea or a lake, these suck up water, along with the creatures living there. And because the waterspout deposits items of different weights at different times, similar sized creatures such as frogs will all fall out together...
Hence millions of tiny froglets that fell from the sky during that spring storm...
