Raining earthworms in Norway?

Unread post by Nev »

Thought this rather dubious story might be of interest. More live creatures apparently just falling out of a clear blue sky a few days ago…

'Raining earthworms - biblical event hits Norway' - NZ Herald

The problem I have is that nobody actually saw said worms falling from the sky. It's just assumed (perhaps erroneously) that if they 'couldn't possibly' have come from below, then they must have come from above. My guess is that these are similar to, if not the same as, the ice-worms or snow-worms found in North American regions… :-k
