Eels fell in hendon in the northeast of england on 24th august 1918.hundreds of them covered a small area about 60 x 50 yards. Live lizards fell on the streets of montreal,canada on 28th december 1857.snails fell in such quantities in redruth,england on 8th july 1886,that people were able to gather them up in hats.A yellow cloud appeared over padorbom,germany on 9th august 1892 and a torrent of rain from it brought thousands on mussels.More recently,on 28th september 1953,a shower of toads fell on orlando,florida in the middle of the afternoon.nondisclosed_email@example.com (MaTTsWoRld)Mon, 17 Sep 2007 14:26:03 +0000 fall from the skyhttps://bmysteriousworld.runboard.com/p24,from=rss#post24https://bmysteriousworld.runboard.com/p24,from=rss#post24CASE 1 showers of a silky substance fell in october 1820 around pernambuco, brazil,covering an area that extended 90 miles inland and nearly as far out to sea,where a french ship was festooned in it.
