Once a year, in the Honduran city of Yoro, it rains fish.
It’s aptly named the Lluvia de Peces (or Rain of Fish). In May or June
every year, like clockwork, a torrential rainstorm rolls through town.
In its wake, a mass of living fish can be found in the streets.
The phenomenon was confirmed by a National Geographic team in the
1970s…but whether or not the fish are literally raining from the sky
is still unknown. Some scientists believe the fish could be carried
into town by waterspouts or water tornadoes, which drop their strange
parcels over land when they run out of steam. Whatever the
explanation, we hope the residents of Yoro like seafood.

There’s a mighty big difference between good, sound reasons and reasons
that sound good.

terminal velocity can do a lot of damages to people and properties, and
thus require a lot of DIY.
