In the department of Yoro, Honduras, fish turn up on the ground after large storms. The lluvia de peces — literally "rain of fish" — has been reported for over a hundred years and is said by residents to happen every year during the mid-year rainy season. The fish "have been described as a form of rain of animals, though they do not appear to fall from the sky."

The standard explanation involves waterspouts scooping fish from the Atlantic Ocean, about 45 miles away — but as the article notes, this "might be seen as unlikely due to the improbability of waterspouts collecting fish in the open sea every year in May or June and transporting them directly to Yoro." An alternative theory proposes that fresh water fish move from a nearby river into a subterranean cave system in response to seasonal changes, then get washed up by heavy rains and stranded when the water recedes.

Locals have held an annual Festival de Lluvia de Peces since 1998, timed to the first major rainfall in May or June. The festival includes a parade and carnival. Some residents prefer a miraculous explanation, crediting a 19th-century Spanish priest named Father Subirana, who "prayed three days and three nights asking God for a miracle to help the poor people and to provide them with food. After these three days and nights, God took note of this and there came a dark cloud. Many tasty fish fell from the sky."
