You may have heard that it is “raining cats and dogs”? Or perhaps that it is raining fish, as Dagbladet has previously written about?
Now, however, several residents of the province of Liaoning in China are reporting a new strange weather phenomenon.
In several videos that are being shared on social media, it can appear as if it has rained large amounts of rain over the province.

Mark?
The videos show people shielding themselves from what appears to be ground falling from the sky. It also looks like dirt is strewn on the cars parked along the road, according to the videos.
People must have been told to seek refuge when the heavens opened, writes New York Post.
The reason behind the strange phenomenon is not yet known, but the website Mother Nature Network suggests that the fields may have been blown away by strong winds.
Several theories
One viewer also suggests that it could be something else entirely, namely the flowers from a tree in the magnolia family. They can resemble field before they fully bloom.
– Those are not animals, they are flowers that have fallen from the trees, writes a user on Twitter.
The videos have gone viral and many viewers refuse to believe their eyes. according to New York Post several have commented that they are fake videos, or a well-executed joke.
Chinese authorities have not yet commented on the weather phenomenon.
