1830, February 9: Rain Drops Herrings on Island of Ulva

        Just so you know, the above comes from an issue of the Quarterly Journal of Agriculture from 1840, which then claims a newspaper article from 1830 as it's source. I will try to find an earlier reference, since this is ten years off. For now, this account is considered unreliable until I find more sources.
