First, I've never seen Magnolia (but I know what happens). Is it a David Lynch movie?
As I'm driving through the storm, frogs (toads??) appear. They don't fall from the sky as they apparently do in Magnolia. But they appear on the road. All over the place. Thousands and thousands. Hopping across the road. It was like a stampede of frogs. I obviously ran over quite a few. It was ridiculous. And eerie. And this mass migration wasn't just a 50 foot band of frogs -- it lasted for a few miles. A flash of lightning would illuminate the road ahead and...frogs as thick as locusts. And then it stopped as quickly as it started. No more frogs.

I had an encounter like that once.
Driving on a familiar gravel road in central Texas, late at night (I think it was clear instead of raining though), and suddenly this lone goat leaps into the middle of the road. It crosses the road, and leaps into the bushes on the other side. That apparently was some sort of signal, beause an entire herd of goats leaps out of the bushes and follows the first goat. I swear there were probably five hundred goats that crossed the road. And as suddenly as they appeared, they were gone.
I knew the area fairly well, and I knew that no one in the area raised goats. Who they were, where they came from and where they were going remains a mystery.
