Rain of Something Unusual	comment	Usually, when it rains, you'd expect water. Occasionally, you'd expect ice (in case of blizzards, flurries and hailstorms). But not here—instead, it's something that you would never expect to rain from the sky. It could be raining money, or raining food, or literally raining cats and dogs, etc. This can have any number of justifications—maybe it's not a normal world in that work's verse, maybe it's an act of a divine being (or other magical being), maybe somebody modifies the weather in... a unique way, etc.—but for most of the time it's the Rule of Funny. Note that this isn't the same as someone flying (whether by himself or on a vessel) and drops things while flying (whether Santa dropping presents or a plane dropping bombs); however, when a rain of something unusual is thought to be a weird rain and turns out to be someone dropping things from the sky, it's a subversion of this. Rain of meteors also doesn't count here. Subtrope of Weird Weather. Supertrope to Rain of Blood, Rain of Arrows and Storm of Blades. Compare Alien Sky, when something unusual shows up in the sky regularly; and It's Raining Men, where a great number of people deliberately fall through the sky to land on the ground (typically via parachute or some other equivalent), giving the visual impression of this trope when done in sufficiently large numbers (especially if they're being viewed by someone to whom the very concept of parachuting is exotic).

Rain of Something Unusual / int_28f30dc9	comment	Fortean Times loves this sort of story. In fact, one of the Ur-Example Fortean phenomena was a mysterious shower of fish and shellfish over Cromer, Norfolk, in 1887. Explained away as a mysterious, unwitnessed and never-found Mad Fishmonger who went around town in the early hours of the morning flinging buckets of produce everywhere, the mystery may have been solved. East Anglia gets tornadoes (yes, we have them in Britain too, but not to Mid-Western standards of severity or destruction). A waterspout originating at sea might have travelled inland, depositing marine life it picked up as it ebbed and died. Similar rains of fish have been reported world-wide and have happened often enough and to too many people to be dismissed as hoaxes or delusions. People have reported seeing fish seemingly flying through the air in high winds and storms...

The landlocked village of Pine Dressers is so used to them it's become a centre of the kipper-smoking industry. When the field is exacerbated, one might encounter more exotic and dangerous things, like doorknobs. Jingo has a magical storm which includes a rain of sardines, in tins. Constable Visit tells of the Murmurians, who were saved from starvation by a magical rain of elephants. He comes up with further examples, until he mentions the "miraculous rain of rain". Constable Reg Shoe tries to offer rational explanations for all of them. In The Truth, William poo-poos other characters' comments about a recent "rain of dogs" in Ankh-Morpork, pointing out that it was one puppy that fell out of a window.

Rain of Something Unusual / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted: In First Edition, there's a Sidereal Charm that turns the arrows they shoot into... well, anything. Examples given include grain, fire, and snow. Of course, since mortal minds are incapable of noticing or remembering Sidereals, they can't understand what caused this "rain". In the demon realm of Malfeas, the weather is as bizarre, and often horribly dangerous, as everything else in Hell. Some of this occurs as part of "natural" weather events, while powerful entities often cause outlandish weather of their own. The acid sea of Kimbery possesses its own equivalent of the water cycle, where caustic vapors rise into the sky, condense into clouds, and precipitate as deadly acid rain before flowing back to Kimbery once more. When in Creation, the passage of the demon Zsofika is heralded by storms and rain. In the Demon City of Malfeas, she's followed by rains of blood, hails of basalt, snow of brass and stranger things. The Yozi known as Hegra, the Typhoon of Nightmares, rains mortal dreams condensed into physical form, such as cold sweat from night terrors, erotic cloudbursts and blizzards of whimsical fancy. Anyone touched by this rain experiences the original dreamer's emotions as if they were theirs. Occasionally, parts of Malfeas will be showered by rains of stone and rubble. This is the first sign that the Yozi is about to smash two of his layers together, as the aerial bridges that connect his sections shatter and fall, and that the demons of that area have better run for their lives before the layer above theirs comes crashing down. Even absent all these factors, rains of blood, gall, pellets of metal, bone or glass, gelatinous blobs, and even small animals are all commonplace in Malfeas. These are generally harmless, if bizarre or disgusting.

Rain of Something Unusual / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible, Book of Exodus: In (Exodus 16) the Hebrews subsisted on a bread-like substance that rained from the heavens while they wandered the desert. They called it manna (literally "what is it?") so it must have been pretty nondescript as a foodstuff. It was said to taste like honey cake, though, so basically a rain of donuts. One of the Ten Plagues of Egypt was a rain of frogs.

Lollipops can do a lot of damage when they're falling at terminal velocity, for one. Another is that, since it rains candy and not water, the water cycle is irrevocably broken...

After she leaves the ocean and becomes a Bathtub Mermaid, she starts to transform back into a human. She thinks she's escaped the curse, but one afternoon she and Reggie are caught in a rainstorm when thousands of live fish start falling from the sky. Aycayia hears women laughing and realises that the curse has followed her onto Black Conch. After a few minutes the rain stops, leaving Arcadia's lawn covered in fish. Later, as Hurricane Rosamund is beginning, the same laughter is heard, and sea creatures of all kinds fall from the sky. The islanders think the storm is just picking up fish from the ocean, but Aycayia knows it's a message from Jagua, the goddess responsible for her curse.
