Could it be possible that the storm lifted a water spout off the coast
(Connecticut is coastal), and that a water spout picked up some floating
FISH eggs off the ocean surface? It is fall, and the Gulf Stream, with
all it's drifting inhabitants, is only a few miles off the Atlantic
coast. Could the tail he be seeing, actually be of a fish, not a frog.
Frog eggs are not all that strong. Being carried through the air, I
would assume they would break up (especially egg masses) and possibly
lose their gelatinous coating. However, most fish eggs are stronger (to
be bashed against rocks/substrate/other stuff before hatching). Could
these be fish eggs????????
