The skeptic in me says maybe. Maybe this is a genuine meteorological phenomenon.

On the other hand, imagine a practical joker. What a great gag it would be to mess with people, raining fish, signs of the apocalypse, crazy climate changing weather, etc. All it would take is a trip to a store, 20 bucks, a couple of buckets of water, and presto, newspaper headlines!

I’m just sayin’.

We (city of Jacksonville, Florida) just had a tornado turned into a waterspout on Friday June 26th. As I was explaining how water spouts often draw water up into the atmosphere.
It reminded of a story many years ago my uncle a fishing captain told me and I assumed it was another fish tale of how he saw a water spout about fifty yards off the bow of his trawler. And shortly afterward it drew back up in top the clouds and started to rain fish. After reading this report; I thought maybe it wasn’t another fish tale after all.
