Oh boy do I believe you.  There was once even a report of it raining children!  What apparently happened is a school got sucked up into a funnel cloud and deposited the children a ways.  Dont know how true it was as I was younger when I heard that.  But the Frog thing is the most common one I hear about.

I have seen these "plagues" of frogs, in my lifetime.  They usually have been green treefrogs.  Had to take a broom and sweep them off the porch and out the door.  If you live near water you will probably have toads and frogs in and around your home.  They are apparently attracted by light....as are insects (their food).

Now, when it rains cats and dogs or pitchforks and ****** babies, you should take note.
Don't believe everything you think.
