The Black Vault - It's raining fish in Greece

Athens - A shower of tiny fish rained down on the village of Korona in the mountains of northern Greece late on Tuesday, Greek television reported on Wednesday, attributing the incident to a mini-tornado.

Villagers discovered the unexpected catch on the banks of Lake Doirani, which lies on the Greek border with the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia, following a spell of rough weather.

According to a weather expert at the university of Salonica, in northern Greece, the fish were probably skimmed up from the surface of the lake by a mini-tornado formed during a thunderstorm - a rare but not unknown phenomenon. - Sapa-AFP
