Fact or Fantasy?

I've seen blogs about SciFi to SciFact. Here's a story straight out of a fantasy novel.

Raining Tadpoles

Now I assuming that somehow the tadpoles were in a body of water that somehow got sucked up very rapidly in some kind of water cyclone/tornado funnel and hurled into the distance, at which point it looked like they were raining.

I highly doubt they were swimming around in the clouds.

And if we assume that it is a supernatural rain of tadpoles, what gives? Some kind of new stealth operation? Regular frogs would be too dramatic?
