Heavy rain in Newark, New Jersey led to a unusual situation. After a nearby lake started to overflow into the streets, a news camera crew stumbled upon a couple of fish attempting to swim up the street, but not doing so well.

They helped them out by putting them on top of a sewer drain so they would at least have a constant flow of water. These weren't your little standard goldfish, either. They were full-sized trout!

Fortunately for the fish, a local hero saved them from a miserable life of swimming through the sewers and returned them to the lake.
