Mother Nature is at it again.
Afternoon traffic came to a sudden halt in Coventry, England due to an unexpected downpour. No, it wasn’t hailstones that weighed nearly two pounds falling from the sky. Instead it was an onslaught of small green apples dropping from the heavens. Drivers initially assumed the falling fruit pelting their vehicles was being tossed by playful children, but the large volume of apples precluded any notion that they had been thrown as a prank.
Meteorologists are speculating that a tornado ripped the apples from their trees, scooped them up into the air and then deposited them in Coventry once the wind currents subsided.
Unlike the woman killed by falling icicles, no one was injured in the apple assault.
So now we can add apples to falling fish and falling men that have rained down from above.
At least this time there were no hamburger-stealing tornadoes, deadly earthquakes nor devastating tsunamis.
