Unexplained shower of apples in a small British town
A small British town experienced shower of apples, Monday night, where more than 100 apples scattered within 20 yards of the streets and car windshields. The incident brought up comparisons to the raining frogs in biblical times.
A senior meteorologist from the British Weather Services, Jim Dale, said that events like these may have been caused by vortex of air or a mini tornado that lifts things off the ground until the air around it causes it to fall again, resulting to rain, and at this time, rain of apples.
A physicist at the Cavendish Laboratory, Dr. Lisa Jardine-Wright, told that cars and houses have been swept up by Tornado, so apples are no exemption. A tornado that swept up an orchard may suck up the apples and deposited them back to earth again when the whirlwind lost energy.
However, witnesses report that the weather that night was calm and peaceful. And residents claim explanations of the incident as caused by a passing plane, roving teen pranksters and witches.
Regardless of whatever explanation they may have, the incident was nothing new because there have been unusual events of the same kind that happened in the past such as frog falls in Llandewi, Powys in 1996 as well as in Croydon, south London, two years after that. In 2000, there had been sprats fall in Great Yarmouth. And also, maggot rain in Acapulco in 1967, and while there's a yachting event at 1976 Olympic Games.
I was wondering if this would happen my area, it would be a very nice scene. With apple rain, the streets and pavements would be so good to look at... But frogs and maggots, nah, that would be so disgusting. =)
