Fishy Rain to Fire Whirlwinds: The World's Weirdest Weather

When Mother Nature Throws a Curve Ball
As if tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards weren't enough to keep us on our toes, Mother Nature occasionally surprises us with some truly odd weather phenomena: From whirlwinds of fire to bloody rains, it's a strange world of weather out there.
Raining Fish and Frogs From
California to England to India, people have periodically reported a fishy form of precipitation: small animals, such as fish, frogs, and snakes have occasionally fallen unexpectedly from the sky, sometimes miles away from water.

Great Balls of Fire
Balls of light, ranging from the size of a golfball to a football, occasionally float through the air during storms, undoubtedly surprising anyone they happen to encounter.
The Sky is Bleeding!
Showers of blood falling from the sky have been reported since ancient Roman times. Though they often horrified the people they fell upon, these rains were not actually blood. They were caused by dust or sand blown into the atmosphere and carried long distances by strong winds, eventually mixing with rain clouds and coloring the rain.

Seeing Triple                                                                                                                                         Even on a clear, sunny day, the sky can hold some surprises, at least for the eyes. If the Sun is close   to the horizon and feathery cirrus clouds sit high in the sky, 'ghost' images of the Sun will sometimes materialize on either side of it, giving the appearance of three Suns shining in the sky.
