A Selection of Anomalous Rains

a reply to: muzzleflash

That is...brilliant.

Anomalous rain is the answer to everything.

Why on Earth did Trump get elected? Anomalous rain.

Wait until Trump hears about this. He'll surely abandon the wall for a dome.

Wanted to bump this.

The candy rain is interesting, could it have been from nearby sugar refining? The amount of heat and particulate thrown off by this process is pretty extreme, even from small operations. New York City was once the sugar refining capital of the world and it often coated nearby residences with a fine coating of sugary particulate.

I had no idea that was a thing. Here in NJ, our factories only give us clear coat destroying acid rain and frogs with extra legs.

That makes me think of Boston's Great Molasses Flood of 1919, which was not at all the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs fun that it might sound like as it it resulted in 21 deaths and 150 injuries.

You might be onto something though with the sugar refining hypothesis. In 1969, a Borden plant in Chester, SC which manufactured the non-dairy creamer, Cremora (not a Godzilla foe surprisingly), had a problem with its exhaust vents which caused the ejection of clouds of non-dairy (thankfully for the lactose intolerant) creamer into the air.

The creamer rained back down on homes nearby, mixing with rain, dew and possibly coffee alike.

What good are frogs with the standard compliment of legs? Mark Twain could have written an even better story if he were here now.

That one is always both morbidly fascinating and horrifying at the same time.

Here's a useless factotum, when the guy who invented Sweet'n Low at Cumberland Packing in Brooklyn started getting consumer complaints freaking about it's ingredients, turned around and invented Sugar in the Raw to help mitigate the blow back.

I often wonder about the kernels of corn that keep draining out of the rain gutter where I work.

as i have said i think this is the work of the humanoids

Heres one showing sulfur and brimstone found at the reputed location of Sodom and Gomorrah...

It also appears to have come from the sky.
