- BELGRADE (SAPA-DPA) - Thousands
of tiny frogs rained on a town in northwestern Serbia, Belgrade daily Blic
reported on Tuesday.
-
- Strong winds brought storm clouds over Odzaci, 120km
north-west of Belgrade, on Sunday afternoon, but instead of rain, down
came the tiny amphibians, witnesses said.
-
- "I saw countless frogs fall from the sky,"
said Odzaci resident Aleksandar Ciric.
-
- The frogs, different from those usually seen in the area,
survived the fall and hopped around in search of water.
-
- Belgrade climatologist Slavisa Ignjatovic described the
phenomenon as "not very unusual".
-
- "A wind resembling a tornado can suck in anything
light enough from the surface or shallow water. Usually it is just dust,
but sometimes also larger objects," Ignjatovic told Blic.
