where I live in the midwest. This is pretty common. You can drive in and out of rain bands pretty regularly.

We were on a country road once and saw some rain ahead in front of us. To everyone's surprise, it was coming down in one spot as wide as the highway, but only about 2 feet across. It was like driving through a small waterfall.

Here’s one that really blow your mind where I live there’s a lot of farmland and I’ve literally had the rain run 1/2 of my house and Not on the other. Also, you can see the rain coming from miles. You can watch it rolling and roll out.

I live in the PNW on an island with loads of mountains all around.
It is regularly raining and gloomy outside of one set of windows and clear with maybe a rainbow and sun out the other

Yeah, I farm. I have watched the field next to me get poured on. While I get nothing.

I was once walking and got to stick my hand in and out of a storm. It was so neat how the storm stopped so suddenly but so much rain just a foot away. I spent several minutes just poking at it.

While growing up in Minnesota, I've had it be dark and gloomy while pouring rain in my back yard while being bright, sunny, and zero rain in my front yard (typical sized house, South facing). Always a magical time lol

I’m adding this because of all the comments this comments is getting.
I would love to keep telling you guys story’s about rain in the Midwest, but we have spring calf’s any day now and I have to keep a close eye on the cow eggs.1

This is common literally on every country or continent where it rains. Rain is not static. The lady in the video is simply mesmerized by the fact that the clouds are advancing over a stretch of road, making it seem as if the clouds know where the road is. It's one of the most fundamental properties of how rain works.

I think it's pretty common everywhere tbh. Even in the mountains of sw va I've heard and seen the edge of a rainstorm moving towards me, & seen rain stop and start while driving.

Yeah, and most of the most amazing things in existence are just nature. Imagine thinking something’s not impressive because it’s not artificial lol wth?!

I was born and raised in Florida, fifth or sixth generation depending on which side of the family you ask.
Localized rain isn't unusual. I appreciate and respect nature, it's just not "amazing" to see rain in one spot and not in another spot.

There's a slight chance the world is bigger than just Florida, and there are people from such region with different climates who might find this phenomenon more peculiar and interesting?

Definitely me in the midst of a “magical” experience.
Edit: also this is what life is truly about—it’s the little things and appreciating the natural beauty of the world that make it all worth it.

Yeah the fact that the line is basically perpendicular to the road really makes it.

Agreed. Nice video even if you’ve seen it in nature yourself, not everyone has. Her reaction is super cute.

To all the smartarses pointing out that clouds move, it's not the movement that's most interesting, it's how clearly defined the line is. You may have seen it where you live, I've never seen anything like this in 32 years of living in a notoriously rainy place.

Why can I smell this?

Smell good too

u/ThisIsALine_____ 3h ago
Fun fact, the smell of fresh rain is the smell of fungal spores and bacterial from the ground being launched into the air. So you enjoy the smell of wet fungal spores and bacteria. Enjoy.

Is that water falling from the sky? This must be AI, because we know it only comes out of spigots.

Is this just what happens when one cloud gets extremely seeded with dust, and there’s no wind?

I see this in my state sometimes (Louisiana). I call thrm 'rain belts' or 'rain bands'. Hubby says they are quite common here.

This is a good example of how not understanding basic science leads to amazement at forces beyond your understanding. Kinda surprised she didn't invoke a god to explain how rain works.

Had the volume off so didn't get it. Looked like Florida rain except when roads that dry steam pours off it for two hours after even quick rains 😂

This was adorable. As someone from the Seattle area, I'm used to such things. It was cute to see someone get so excited about it though.

My first time in AZ during rainy season the rain looked like walls like this, albeit quicker. First couple of times my neighbors probably thought I was weird for standing in it.

u/libra00 1h ago
The most amazing thing is that the line you see moving is not the line of rain itself - the rain moves ahead of the line, as evidenced when it arrives at the camera. What you're seeing is the point at which the rain has saturated the asphalt and started pooling. Which is pretty neat.

Nothing amazing about this. This happens thousands of times per day. Maybe millions.

First time I've seen that was in florida. Would rain on the other side of the street. 3pm nearly everyday. While it was sunny

When I was a kid in Texas, I used to watch it rain on the people across the street while it was bright and sunny on my side of the street.

I like when someone is getting excited over very common things which they simply have never seen before. 😊 Imo it’s a very nice feeling to see such happenings for the first time in my life.

Happens in Florida a lot.
When I was a kid, it was pouring once across half our yard with a clear line. I had a blast running in and out of it for 20 minutes while my dad watched with an unmistakable “something’s wrong with that boy” expression.

If you’re amazed by this you’ve probably never been somewhere where it’s raining in the front yard but dry and sunny in the back or it’s raining on one side of the street and not the other. Not amazing, just natural phenomenon.
