Blackbirds Fall From Sky - End Times?

OK, though it sounds pretty strange the rain of dead birds that fell on Beebe, Arkansas may not be so strange.  As a weather watcher and storm chaser, I was watching the radar as quite a few nasty supercells moved over northwestern Arkansas on Friday.  Storms crossed much of the rest of the state for most of the day on New Year's Eve.  It isn't out of the realm of possibility that the flock of birds ended up being pulled into a thunderstorm updraft and then pummeled to death with hail stones. Wildlife experts suspect lightning might have played a role.

Either way it's not the end times.  I looked at the radar and the four horsemen were not showing up anywhere in North America.  Stranger things have fallen from the sky, like these frogs raining down in the UK.
