Small City Yoro Rain of Fish
The small town of Yoro in Honduras has had very strange weather every year for the past 100 years.
"Lluvia de peces" or "rain of fish" is an annual meteorological phenomenon that causes hundreds of fish to rain from the sky onto city streets after heavy storms, usually in May or June. The phenomenon of "raining fish" or "raining animals" is commonly known and has been reported around the world for centuries. However, there are few scientific explanations for why these phenomena occur. One hypothesis suggests that fish like lluvia de peces are caused by tornadoes moving over water and picking up small underground creatures, usually fish and frogs, and depositing them elsewhere.
However, tanks are not known for transporting goods over long distances under water. This doesn't help explain Yoro's fishing weather. Because the fish washed up there don't belong in the local rivers and streams. If the conversion theory is correct, the urinary fish would have come from the nearest body of water, the Atlantic Ocean, about 125 miles away.
According to local legend, the story of Luvia de Peses visited the area in the 1860s and prayed for the poor and hungry people of the area and asked God for them. with food. Perhaps the most promising theory to explain the lluvia de peces phenomenon is that of a team of National Geographic scientists who witnessed this remarkable event while on a mission to Yoro in the 1970s.
Noticing that the washed-up fish were completely blind, the scientists concluded that the urinary fish did not really fall from the sky. Conversely, heavy rains can cause these subterranean fish to rise above ground before emerging.
This theory of Luvia de Peses is the most plausible, but also the least romantic, and is largely ignored.
