It's raining worms in China...end of days

Worms? I hate worms they make me crazy.

Signed, million man.

Gross eww!!!!

From the article:

But a number of people put forward alternative explanations. One theory is that they are indeed worms, but ones that have been swept up in a minor tornado and later deposited.

Another possibility, some commented, is that they are worms that have come to the surface because spring has arrived and the ground is thawing.

This kind of phenomenon has happened in other parts of the world, and there's a perfectly logical explanation for it.

Imagine, if you will, a small tornado forming outside of Beijing, a very weak one that probably is in the EF0-EF1 range, that spends a few minutes on the ground going over a pond or small lake filled with these worms. It sucks them up like a giant vacuum cleaner, and the storm blows east over the city. The tornado loses power, and everything it sucked up is dropped out the the sky, including the worms.

That's why there have been weird reports of things like it "raining fish" or it raining "dead ducks" in places like the US, because that's how it usually happens; a tornado picking up the stuff indiscriminately and dumping it everywhere when the vortex loses power. There was even a report in Renaissance England of worms falling out of the sky, showing that this is not something new happening.
