Tadpoles do not come from they sky. They are hatched from eggs frog lay in water. Some species in the rain forest will lay their eggs in water collect in the base of leaves. These tadpoles will drop out of the leave puddles into the river below.

Yes.

On 8 July 1886 near Redruth, Cornwall, snails rained down so thickly that people were collecting them by the hatful.

On 23 September 1973, in Brignoles, southern France, tens of thousands of small toads fell from the sky during a freak storm. At the same time in another French village, Chalon-sur-Sanone, small toads rained down for two days.

It is not unusual to hear stories of creatures falling from the sky. There have been tales of frogs, shells, fish and even starfish falling. This often happens because a violent storm forms over areas where there are shallower waters, such as lagoons, creeks and ponds, causing updraughts. These updraughts take small, light creatures from shallower waters into the atmosphere, then travel a little distance (maybe up to many kilometres inland), dumping them somewhere else later.

There probably have been stories of frogs falling from the sky, but one documented case involved toads. On 23 September 1973, in Brignoles, southern France, tens of thousands of small toads fell from the sky during a freak storm. At the same time in another French village, Chalon-sur-Sanone, small toads rained down for two days.
