Apples rain from the sky over Coventry

Locals were left perplexed as a freak shower of apples battered cars and homes on Monday night.
Traffic was brought to a standstill and the roads were covered in a green slush as the apples deluged from the heavens. "The apples fell out of nowhere," said one motorist. "They were small and green and hit the bonnet hard. Everyone had to stop their cars suddenly." Experts believe the apples had been picked up from an orchard by a miniature tornado and deposited on to the streets.
After a series of storm warnings, drivers in the evening rush hour were prepared for almost anything. Except, that is, for it to start raining apples.

Maybe it was freak storm and it threw the apples in another area of the country there. Maybe God is remind us all that there are still hungry people in the world.

Hi Doggirl3 Quite possibly a freak storm although I cannot find one reported. The main question though, is where did the apples come from. The apple season is long gone so there should be no more apples on the trees in the orchards although there are maybe a couple of varieties that continue to grow into winter months.

. Maybe God is remind us all that there are still hungry people in the world. Why do people assume it has to be God?...Lets say God did do it..if he wanted to remind people of world hunger, then why chuck apples at a small town land and not chuck actual food down on those who actually need it?

I hate hearing "experts" say it was a tornado that picked up what ever happens to raining down anywhere. In this specific incident, I find it difficult to believe that a tornado picked up ONLY apples from the orchard and not just apples but small green apples and no leaves, branches, dirt, bugs, animals, or anything else that happens to be around.
