FROG PLAGUE

Tadpole downpour stumps Japanese meteorologists

An office clerk in Nanao first noticed the anomaly when he heard a dull thud in a parking lot last week, news reports said. Looking around, he saw about 100 dead tadpoles splattered on car windscreens and on the ground.

"People speculate that a waterspout picked them up and dropped them from the air," an official at a local weather observatory said. "But from a meteorological point of view, I have to say it is most unlikely. We have checked the weather conditions of last week, thinking gusts of wind might have hit the area but confirmed no damage.

"To be honest, I don't think it was anything caused by a weather condition."
