The text claims that after hurricanes, it sometimes rains snakes, frogs, and other small creatures.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that it rains animals like snakes and frogs after hurricanes is based on a misunderstanding. While it doesn't literally rain these animals, strong winds from hurricanes can displace them, causing them to appear in unusual places. This phenomenon is documented but is not the same as actual rainfall of animals. The evidence from the Library of Congress and Wikipedia supports this explanation, indicating that while animals can be lifted and moved by strong winds, they do not fall from the sky like rain.
