The recent storm in China formed a waterspout which sucked sea creatures like octopus, shellfish, starfish, and other marine life from the ocean and blew them onto the land.
People were stunned to witness unbelievable phenomena as sea creatures fell from the sky after being blown ashore by tornado-strength winds.
Several incredible photos were posted online showed octopus, starfish among other sea animals 'raining' in the coastal city of Qingdao in eastern China's Shandong Province on Wednesday.

The Chinese Meteorological Administration confirmed there had been a number of sea creatures blown onto the land by a waterspout, stated Daily Mail. The animals sucked up with the water can be deposited hundreds of yards or even miles away after being released by the wind.
'Seafood rain' became a trending topic on social media after jaw-dropping photos like an octopus and a starfish sticking on windscreens of two different vehicles, were shared online.
According to the city's meteorological service, the hurricane-force winds were accompanied by hail and caused widespread destruction throughout the city. It is believed the creatures were brought inland by waterspouts which sucked them out of the Yellow Sea.
 According to meteorologists, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to transport marine life hundreds of miles away from water.
