Very very strange

Dead birds fall from sky

Grim too.

But apparently about a thousand dead birds fell from the sky just before midnight on NYE.

What's the chance of that?!

How strange!

Time to break out the zombie plan?

There was a strong storm system that went through the area associated with a very marked cold front (a temp difference of almost 40F!) The storm produced a number of tornadoes, some of them strong. It is possible that the bird deaths were associated with this.
It is rather fascinating!

OMG. That happened in flash forward

Next thing you know we'll all go unconscious at the same time and see a vision of the future.

Does sound like the beginning of a horror movie/apocalypse movie doesn't it?

must be a cloud of poisonous somethingorother floating around at bird-height. Ew.

It is flash forward. Wonder if it happened over Somalia too?

Said they hadn't been poisoned.

Very strange, I thought of FlashForward too. Does anyone know when it starts again?

As far as I know FlashForward was cancelled by the network

Do you think they saw that coming?

LOL!

Toughasoldboots - it was just before midnight - not after!

I think it's best to start eating the christmas chocolates, if we're going to be running away from Zombies or Aliens, then I'm going to need the extra calories...

Cancelled!!!!!!! I need to know what happened!!!

Now 100,000 fish (all the same species) have been found dead near where the birds were found

Ooooh entering the twilight zone

There are recorded incidents where underground volcanoes have released highly toxic carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide gases into the immediate atmosphere. Lake Nyos in Cameroon is an example where the gases were trapped at a low level by mist, killing 1700 people in a nearby village plus a lot of animals and fish. Could be something like that.

ok, well I'm still quite convinced that the birds got caught in a violent thunderstorm. The weather really was severe. (maybe a huge updraft that took them above survivable conditions, or a big lightning strike, or maybe the ended up in a tornado)

But the fish have me stumped. If it was lots of different sorts of fish I'd postulate a lightning strike (though I don't think lightning strikes normally kill fish as surely it would flash over the surface?) But one sort of fish? maybe some sort of fish flu.

That's nuts!

More dead birds, in Louisiana this time.

Sounding more like a virus perhaps then with it being the same species again? But even a virus wouldnt drop them all practically at the same time I wouldnt have thought.

I also thought the news said more dead birds in parts of Sweden? More than possible I misheard it. It is very, very odd.

yup here

I wonder how many mass bird deaths there are that usually go unnoticed?

More fish in Maryland now. Different species than before.
