The conventional reason for a buncha tiny frogs or toads 'bouncing off the road' in a rainstorm is that they had just metamorphosed from a local pond/ditch/puddle/whatever and were hanging out there waiting for rain, and then when it finally does rain, alllllll of them (and this can be into the tens of thousands) go "aaaaah! freedom!" and go bolting away out into the great wide world, which often has a road running through it. It can be quite impressive.
Unless you were actually standing there with a bucket and one *fell into* the bucket, this is most likely what you saw. Yes, they do look like they are falling with the raindrops and bouncing. But, not. I've seen it myself. You have to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right moment, it may take only like 10 minutes once a year and not happen every year.
As for things that people have been seeing/believing for millenia, if that is proof of anything, does this mean that fairies, mythological monsters, and the evil eye are real too?
