Tahnee Oakhill shared a video on Facebook of the sky raining fish.

"The kids got a good little catch today - 5 or so," Oakhill wrote in a comment.

"It was pretty surreal watching them walk around on a once droughted property in the guts of the [Queensland] bush and scoop living fish out of mud puddles on the dirt road."

"It's pretty crazy, getting that much rain was pretty shocking and then that happening after that...it's been a weird week," Oakhill told ABC News.

As for the fish, Ecologist Dr. Peter Unmack said the fish likely did not fall from the sky.

He explained that the tiny fish can quickly travel long distances in small amounts of water, but added that this tendency did allow a small possibility for them to get caught in rainclouds. UPI News reported.
