A shower of frogs is biblical, bizarre and more common than you'd imagine. A waterspout -- a tornado that forms over water -- can spin at up to 200 mph [source: CMMAP]. As it passes over the water, it can vacuum up lightweight items such as frogs, fish, squid and worms. Waterspouts over land have been known to hoist up tomatoes and even coal [source: CMMAP]. As the waterspout loses energy over land, items caught in its swirling winds fall from the sky, resulting in froggy precipitation.
