It's raining apples in Coventry
2011-12-15
An avalanche of more than 100 apples rained down over a main road in Keresley, Coventry on Monday night. The street was left littered with apples after they pelted car windscreens and bonnets just after rush-hour.

One driver said: "The apples fell out of the sky as if out of nowhere. They were small and green and hit the bonnet hard.

Keresley parish councillor Sandra Camwell said a freak black-out happened on the same road last year. She said: "Strange things do happen in this part of the world. I think it's highly likely that apples did fall from the sky. We're in an area with a spooky history, where there have been witches for centuries, after all."

Jim Dale, senior meteorologist, from British Weather Services, said: "We've all heard of the fish and frogs falling from the sky and apples is certainly unusual because they have some weight to them but it is not out of the realms of possibility."

#3  "...and it don't rain little green apples in the wintertime..."

Speaking of which, why would apples be green at this time of year? Maybe they were transported from the southern hemisphere. Maybe they were transported from another dimension!

Lo!
