In the Chinese city struck a rain of octopus and shrimp

Imagine that you eat in the car on the street in the rain and on top of your windshield with all his strength landed shrimp. And her second. And somewhere up ahead the wind carries through the air the octopus...

Residents of coastal Chinese city of Qingdao in Shandong province, East China , last Wednesday seemed to be inside of a disaster movie. From heaven on them with the rain fall shrimp, octopus, crustaceans and other marine life.

Later in social networks there appeared a lot of photos with unexpected "gifts from heaven". Riddle was solved by the local meteorological service. It was stated that a strong tornado captured octopus and shrimp in the ocean during a heavy downpour with Gale-force winds carried them to the nearest town. It is reported that the wind speed at that day set a new local record.

Earlier, similar incidents occurred in 2017 in Mexico, when fish fell from the sky in Tampico, and to this strong fish rain in Kerala, India in 2008.

Wine tornado in these two cases has not been proven, but a recent case in China it seems, after all the "hands" of the matter. Although here the tornado has not been seen, and given the densely populated Chinese cities, it seems a little odd. According to meteorologists, it is not uncommon for a tornado to suck up water and transfer of marine life hundreds of miles from their habitats.

After the last storm in Qingdao had been felled numerous trees and demolished not one road sign so the wind was really strong.
