For that matter, why don't we see plantlife from the body of water? And often, as I recall the accounts, the species will turn out to be not even remotely local. It was these events that led Fort to speculate on the existence of a natural 'force' of teleportation. Of course he wasn't proposing it as the answer, just that it made at least as much sense as the waterspout explanation. Loren- exactly.

Typically, these Fortean falls are of only one or two species, not a true sampling of a portion of a pond or lake that would seem to be the case if it was scooped up by a twister/waterspout.

Mysterious Falls/Rains! Maybe someday they'll actually figure this stuff out. I consider the old idea of the waterspout/whirlwind is tired and unlikely. But...who knows. Fascinating, at any rate.
