Riding my motorcycle in Eugene, OR, I found a pasture where it was raining just in that pasture. The pasture was about 20 acres in size. I pulled over and stuck my hand out in to the rain while I was completely dry. I could literally see the line/ wall of rain where the weather changed. Very trippy!
Riding my dream mountain bike home after just buying it, I was racing a storm, it was right behind me and took a while to catch up to me, first and only time it ever happened to me. My friend was following me in his car and it was in the rain. I forgot I left the sun roof open in my car at the bike shop, when I got back to get it, it was soaked!
I was driving and rounded a curve in the road. Ahead was a straight stretch of about one-half mile. It was raining on one side of the road but not the other. At the time I was there, the dividing line of the rainfall was the center-line of the road. I was driving on dry pavement but the other lane was being soaked.
I was bicycling in Wyoming when suddenly it started raining. I got soaked, of course, then mysteriously the rain stopped about 15 minutes later. Totally bizarre.
I really enjoyed your video style. There were no words for me to read while I was watching the video, no annoying background music! Very good description! Thank you so much.
Underworld is the best channel of this kind on youtube. It's fascinating and not annoying like others that have dumb graphics and don't show the actual footage they're describing. And the narrator is easy to listen to. This episode has to be my favorite so far🤩 Loved the fluff fire, and I've been in one of those Eeyore rainbursts! The sound of that rock slide was almost musical😘💯
Where it rained in one place.. Growing up in California we called them "Cloud Bursts". As kids we would play in them running in and out of them. Believe it or not I had an aunt who was Chawltaw Indian . she would do a rain dance and it would actually begin to rain where she was dancing in the front yard. We kids would dance with her . she taught the dance but I haven't done it in years . I'm 58 this past April . I was just a kid under 12 . so many years yet I can still see us laughing ,playing in that rain . she didn't do it very often .it had to be unbearablly hot out for us to even beg her to dance for us kids. Such memories.
With at least TWO TONS of rock flowing by every second, I wouldn't stick a toe in there for anything. I'd have run like hell, JIC more and larger rocks were next.

That’s a great point! Many people, especially those into weather and storm science, know that hair standing on end can be a sign of imminent lightning. It’s a clear indication that electrical charges are building up, making lightning more likely. It’s fascinating how our bodies can sometimes detect these natural phenomena before they happen. Do you have any other interesting tips or signs related to weather or storms that you’ve found helpful?
Yup. Essentially the static (electricity) has formed a path between the cloud and ground... a path or track has been created for the massive charge of the static electricity that's about to be discharged (grounded)... otherwise known as lightning. They were unbelievably and unexplainably lucky... it's almost like "god" intervened, because when it gets to this stage... the strike is imminent after.

Thanks for creating and sharing this video. While travelling through Lake Louise, Alberta Canada, a friend and I witnessed rain falling only on one half of the highway for 100's of metres. The fact that the rain was literally not striking the ground on the westbound lane, but only on the eastbound land, right along the painted dividing lines. I have also had the rare fortune to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) swirl as if looking down into a whirlpool forming what appeared from earth to be perfectly circular miles in diameter black hole in the heavens. The most amazing thing I have witnessed was a 4 foot tall Great Horned Owl. Fully grown they are rarely ever taller than 18 inches, but this was a rare giant of an owl, with massive yellow eyes the size of softballs and talons thicker than Cuban cigars. I managed to get within 20 feet of it after it alighted on a telephone cable, and I used the distance between telephone cables and hydro cables running on the same poleline. As a former telecommunications lineman I knew the distance between telecommunication and hydro cables crossarms are 8 feet on a pole that carries both, to prevent electromagnetic induction generated by hydroelectric cables.
9:10 The moose shedding its antlers was like something out of a nature documentary! This video captures moments you wouldn’t believe unless you saw them yourself. Incredible footage!
I'm from Chile, South América, many years ago I used to travel through the Petorca province, and something like those sea of clouds were common in a section called Cuesta el Melón Sometimes, you could experience it before it starts moving over the mountain because descending on the valley, the clouds, mist, or wathever it is, it was at ground level, completely immovil, and solid like a wall streching kilometers You could see it from the distance, and as you enter it, and travel though it, looking around there was just the eery whitness of the mist enveloping you, it was like a dream
San Francisco Bay Area gets these as well. Fog from the Pacific Ocean pours over the San Andreas fault line ridge into the upper peninsula cities (Colma, San Bruno, Burlingame, San Mateo, etc. ).
I'm in Portabella, Florida and we get mist that swirls upward into the sky, kinda like a tornado in shape but it's harmless and turns slightly and eventually evaporates.
My husband and I experienced one of those super isolated rainfalls once. We were freaked out because we couldn't see any clouds. Ours was also at night, and all we could see were the moon and stars. We talked about the "mystery rain" for years.
No, you didn't. Rain falling from miles in the sky does not stay concentrated in a single location like the video or what you're claiming. Air resistance causes it to spread to the point where you would barely notice even a drop. No one is impressed by your fake story.
Yes, didn’t realize until this video. One came down directly on me when I was younger and it made me question reality for a few months. Not saying that as a joke either it freaked me out.
I've noticed this happening multiple times in the same place. I've come to the conclusion that it's likely Lake effect precipitation. Instead of turning into clouds as the warm moist air rises up the hill, it condenses, and accumulates size as falls through the air which is right at its dew point.
Happened to me in Eugene, OR. Around 4:30 pm. The rain covered about 20 acres next to the bone dry road I was on. I walked up to the wall of rain and could see the "line" where the weather changed. VERY TRIPPY!
I had the same thing happen on Lake Mille Lacs in MN. We were in a metal boat on that shallow lake, and when my hair stood up like a bushy dust mop, then my line rose out of the water, also with static sounds, we got out of there. We found out later that Minneapolis, MN, about 90 miles away had just had a tornado. As to the bubbling water, I simply thought maybe Mother Nature had forgotten to turn her tea pot off. ;o) BTW, they go through the ice coming on shore in, I believe, Lake Erie, every year. Sometimes it has actually gone up against a house to close to the lake edge and broken doors or pushing a wall and breaking it. Sadly, John Muir, the explorer who found and pushed for Yosemite to become a park also wanted Hetch Hetchy Valley to be part of it. But, sigh, even though the Hetch Hetchy was more beautiful, San Francisco parlayed it into being a reservoir for their city. Sad. If you have been there, and looked at the valley past the damn, yes, it probably was. It broke John Muir's heart.
It's fake. Look at the sharp, very distinct line between the static rocks at the sides of the channel, and the rocks that are all sliding at the same speed. IRL the centre would be moving fastest, grading out to static at the sides. It's a shame since other clips look genuine. Why ruin the cred of the channel?. Such is the internet. Some people just have to spread complete BS just for money.
@@topspeed250k5if it's fake, then why do rocks tumble into the sides and back again? What looks faker is the localized rain. The clips show zero proof that it isn't a hose from the buildings shooting water up.
13:29 - This is not just the only waterfall on earth that flows reverse; there are many in the Sahyadri range in Maharashtra, India. I grew up seeing one from a house in Trimbakeshwar, near Nashik in Maharashtra, India.
Sometime in the 80's traveling to Vegas, at a rest stop between Barstow and Baker we experienced that rain on my dad's car. It only rained on my dad's car, in fact on half of the car.
I live in North Carolina. Near the east of North Carolina, you can quite often drive thru small clouds that pour rain. One minute you are getting drenched, the next the road is completely dry
@@susanchandler4820 Susan I lived in Wilmington for 26 years and can fully corroborate! All the locals laugh as the uninitiated clear off the beach for afternoon showers that last for brief moments!
I live in North Carolina in Mt. Airy at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has poured rain on my 15’ x 15’ patio and no where else. I stood right beside the pouring rain in the dry. It was weird.
@@susanchandler4820 I’m just south of Raleigh, and a few nights ago, while sitting on the screened porch, I could hear it raining in the next yard, while it was clear in my yard. Weird.

I have witnessed this rain phenomenon happen about 3 times. The first time, it blew my mind because I was very young; around 10 years old. My family & I were coming from Alabama, headed to Pittsburgh, and somewhere between Kentucky & Ohio, we drove straight through it. It was dry outside and sunny, and all of a sudden, we drove straight through an area on the freeway that where it was raining, but a few feet ahead, it was dry again. It happened again earlier this year, and again about a month ago. And I'm not talking about like it's raining in one neighborhood and not in the other. I'm talking about it being dry as hell on the road, then all of a sudden, you're walking INTO an area where it's raining, and then all of a sudden it's dry again a few feet ahead!😂😂😂
It happened to us with snow. It was snowing in one area for a few minutes and then it spread to the entire area. You could see the wall of snow. Very cool!
I saw it in Fiji and in Hervey Bay in Australia. But it was a little larger area than this. Probably like 15-20m across, like about a quarter of a football field.
I was thinking it was only doing that because the wind was blowing so hard! You can hear how hard the wind was blowing with the phone. Im thinking that the waterfall was still going down, but due to the wind being so rough, it's blowing the water backward.
The individual rain clouds over the cars on the highway is not a myth or a made-up story. I actually experienced it in Mayaguez Puerto Rico back in 1972. I wish I had a smartphone then! We live in a surprising, amazing world.
The term “firefall” used in Yosemite came from the days when the forestry department would gather wood cuttings on top of Glacier Point in Yosemite, and on summer evenings set it on fire before pushing it over the side with a bulldozer at 9 PM. Campers used to stand in the valley, looking up yelling “let the fire fall!” And it was a thrill for us kids. They did this for almost 100 years until January 1968. Fog flowing over mountain ridges happens almost every evening in Mill Valley, CA during summer. The fog from the coast pushes over the ridge of Mt Tamalpais and sinks down into the valley below.
Cottonwoods would fluff & the fluff had cottonseed oil in it so when you light it it burns rapidly. But being it was an amusement park...you quickly stomped that fire out as there is so much trees, wood. outdoor rugs & plastic & paint that could also burn. It took a couple of guys to stomp out the fire (the parks manager was showing off). as he had the lighter. Meaning, he had done this before as the amusement park was +20years old. Sneakers killed the flames. It was cool to watch it burn for a short while, you are immediately thinking of "buddies" house that you are not friends with and does he have fluff? Lit wayward cigarette and poof.
Talking about isolated rain. I lived in Phoenix for 10 years and one day there was a thunderstorm that did not move. I was standing and looking straight up a wall of the thunderstorm. It was nearly a perfectly straight wall going up. The weird thing was, I pulled into a flooded parking lot of a completely dry street. I was just a matte of a foot between a heavy down pour and a dry street. I was living at a apartment and there was a tremendous downpour. We had nearly 4 inches of rain in a hour. But if you traveled 1 mile in any direction, there was no rain. They showed it on the news were there was this heavy rain and then no where else in Phoenix had rain.
This documentary was VERY WELL DONE! Each phenomenon was given plenty of viewing time -- not rushed. Very thorough explanations for each event. Thank you for this informative and well-produced documentary!
EXTREMELY dangerous though. That's how many raging forest fires start. Grass fires look like that. Fire will even burn in wet areas w/several inches of water on ground. NEVER think a cigarette thrown in ditch or a still warm campfire won't cause a deviating fire.
I was washing-up in the kitchen during the summer when my children were young, looking out over the back garden and it started to rain. Called to my hubby (who was in the front room watching the football, it was Sunday, bless him) 'Grab the washing off the line please, poppet, it's raining'. 'No it isn't', says he, looking out of the front window. 'Bloody well is ya lazy git...' We were both right, the front garden was dry and everything in the back garden was drenched, still spent the afternoon giving each other the beady eye though 😅
Yosemite indeed had a real 'fire fall' here. I remember seeing it as a child. They would toss burning embers off the cliff for an amazing sight at night! I remember all the fire trucks waiting to put out any runaway embers.
I saw the firefall from Camp Curry and Glacier Point over 100 times camping in Yosemite NEVER saw any firetrucks. The burning coals landed on a ledge about 1000 ft down from Glacier Point.
@@richardwendt4612 I would imagine it depended on where you were viewing the fire falls from...but there were definitely fire trucks waiting in the area where we were. I do not remember which area specifically, but close to Camp Curry. I'm talking the 1960s.
@@catbee1452 I don't doubt your recollection. I just never saw fire trucks there and never heard of any related fires. I visited Yosemite from 1948 until the late 50's. I climbed the "ledge trail" behind Camp Curry which was a 3/4 mile trail to Glacier Point. Age restriction was 16 yrs old, and used the ledge that the firefall landed on I was told. I was not old enough to complete the trail and only went up to the timberline. I understand that trail is no longer used.
Years ago, I read a short anecdote, in Time magazine I think it was. A guy and a friend were hiking in the Colorada wilderness around 1940. They stopped at a small river and it was hot so they stripped naked and went for a swim. He got out and was lying on the bank, and his friend emerged and stood there still wet, glistening in the sun. Suddenly, a huge swarm of vivid blue butterflies landed on his friend, totally covering every part of his body for a few seconds. He said the image was mesmerising, the most incredible thing he ever saw in his life. I don't wonder.
I was fortunate enough to witness #1 in Albuquerque, NM one monsoon season. The clouds didn't 'slide' down the Sandia Mountain range but actually 'rolled.' After they rolled over the top and down a few hundred feet the remainder slid down. It was AMAZING!! 😯💚 I thought the Sandias were beautiful when they were pink at sunset (Sandia translates to "watermelon." Named for those rare occasions of when they appear pink during sunset. There's also the Manzano range nearby translating to "apple" for same reason). Once I saw the Sandias turn purple after a monsoon; also spectacular, but the waterfall clouds were the highlight & the rarest. 🙂 As for the rain in only a spot, Houston gets those showers regularly. But I can top that. Once I was with a group of about 5 people and it started showering - on ME. Yup, ONLY ON ME. I couldn't believe it. I'd have thought I imagined it except, besides getting wet, there were others equally as dumbfounded. No explanation at all. Absolutely bizarre.
Go to CA. West of San Mateo and Belmont, in the SF bay area, is a long river next to a ridge. Fog from the ocean flows over the ridge, near sunset, and falls down towards the lake. It can appear to splash as it gets to the water. Very beautiful. It happens in summer time, nearly every day.
Actually, since you brought that up, you should move as slow as possible, because speeding in the zone of a positive charge can call the bolt directly at you. You can re-create that effect on a static towel or a blanket, if you move your hand around slowly - it tickles. If you move it fast - it stings you. The *LEAST* thing you want to do is to run, while being *inside* the storm cloud.
When I was in grad school a friend and I were crossing a field as a shortcut to our dorm and we started feeling static electricity. My friend hollered to hit the dirt and we dove to the ground. We'd just turned to look at each other when there was an intense flash with an incredible "Boom!", and the ground seemed to jump. There was a tree about ten yards beyond where he was so I got the full brilliance of the flash when lighting hit that tree and shattered it. As for rain, several times I've experienced being in the house or yard and seeing rain falling on one side and not on the other. In one instance it was raining on the street but not on my yard or on the neighbor's yard across the street! We saw the same thing happen with snow once; we were in the yard of one professor's house in nice sunshine while it snowed on two houses across the street, leaving two or three inches of fresh snow before in vanished. I've seen that phenomenon with ice, too. The river behind campus at grad school had frozen over solid enough to walk on (we used it as a shortcut to a grocery store). I was on the jogging path along the river one day when an ice surge came down stream, a sheet of large ice slabs and chunks sliding over the ice near me, I stopped to watch which kept me from being where a tree jutted over the river when a huge ice slab caught on its roots, changing the flow of the ice so a stream of it "flowed" right up onto shore and over the jogging path. Cloud waterfalls? They happen dozens of time a year where I now live on the Pacific coast!
No, lightning is not about to strike. Neither is there a storm. It just static electricity from the wind and dryness. This happens all over high deserts. It can be spooky. But there is no lightning. I have seen the same thing countless times up in the mountains above tree line.
Depends on where you live. In Florida, lightning here kills about 7 people per year, and is why we pause major sports events when thunderstorms are in the area. I haven't had my head hair stand on end like the video, but I have had my arm hair raise up just before a nearby strike. Not something to ignore.
I saw the cloud waterfall thing in Rocky Mountain Park in the 1970’s. It was not fast like your video but nicely slow which I liked better. Very memorable
Great interesting video as usual from this channel, but there is one phenomenon that happens every other day in Cape Town, in South Africa. That’s the cascade of rolling clouds over the flat Table Mountain. I filmed it many times. Still spectacular and no need to go to China! 😉
Honestly images like this are why smartphones and drones are amazing inventions. Thanks for the video! Btw, you missed the reverse waterfall and the firefall in the chapter list.
We see cloud waterfalls all the time in the SF bay area when the fog comes rolling over the hills. It doesn't flow as far as the one shown here, but it's still pretty to watch.
i was at the beach (which was backed by sand dunes) with my friend and for a maybe 5- 10 seconds (we are just arguing exactly how long!) and suddenly there was TOTAL i mean a TOTAL absence of sound, nothing, no sound off in the distance - just nothing, then it all came back, truly it was the most amazing thing ever, i mean there were waves, wind etc!!! it was like a switch had been turned off. and no we were not on any mind altering stuff. has anyone ever heard (or not heard!!! lol) of this phenomenon before?
4:05 this happened to me 1985 in scotland, it cut a straight line across the street where i could hop back and forth from rain to shine. when i tell people about it they can't believe that it is even possible.
One time on the backway to Vegas coming home, which ends up in 29 Palms, my friend and I caught something similar to the Isolated Rain. But it was Snow. We saw where it was Snowing in this one section, off the road a little. Standing in it felt Weird, and Amazing at the same time.
Riding my motorcycle in Eugene, OR, I found a pasture where it was raining just in that pasture. The pasture was about 20 acres in size.

Sometimes, you could experience it before it starts moving over the mountain because descending on the valley, the clouds, mist, or wathever it is, it was at ground level, completely immovil, and solid like a wall streching kilometers

Mother Nature holds so many secrets yet to be discovered. Thank you for opening Nature's Pandora's box. I'd love to see more videos like this.
My husband and I experienced one of those super isolated rainfalls once. We were freaked out because we couldn't see any clouds. Ours was also at night, and all we could see were the moon and stars. We talked about the "mystery rain" for years.
No, you didn't. Rain falling from miles in the sky does not stay concentrated in a single location like the video or what you're claiming. Air resistance causes it to spread to the point where you would barely notice even a drop. No one is impressed by your fake story.
Yes, didn’t realize until this video. One came down directly on me when I was younger and it made me question reality for a few months. Not saying that as a joke either it freaked me out.
I've noticed this happening multiple times in the same place. I've come to the conclusion that it's likely Lake effect precipitation. Instead of turning into clouds as the warm moist air rises up the hill, it condenses, and accumulates size as falls through the air which is right at its dew point.
Happened to me in Eugene, OR. Around 4:30 pm. The rain covered about 20 acres next to the bone dry road I was on. I walked up to the wall of rain and could see the "line" where the weather changed. VERY TRIPPY!
God peeing.
I had the same thing happen on Lake Mille Lacs in MN. We were in a metal boat on that shallow lake, and when my hair stood up like a bushy dust mop, then my line rose out of the water, also with static sounds, we got out of there. We found out later that Minneapolis, MN, about 90 miles away had just had a tornado.
As to the bubbling water, I simply thought maybe Mother Nature had forgotten to turn her tea pot off. ;o)
BTW, they go through the ice coming on shore in, I believe, Lake Erie, every year. Sometimes it has actually gone up against a house to close to the lake edge and broken doors or pushing a wall and breaking it.
Sadly, John Muir, the explorer who found and pushed for Yosemite to become a park also wanted Hetch Hetchy Valley to be part of it. But, sigh, even though the Hetch Hetchy was more beautiful, San Francisco parlayed it into being a reservoir for their city. Sad. If you have been there, and looked at the valley past the damn, yes, it probably was. It broke John Muir's heart.
Wow!!!That rock slide is something you definitely don’t see everyday.
Gravelanche
It's fake. Look at the sharp, very distinct line between the static rocks at the sides of the channel, and the rocks that are all sliding at the same speed. IRL the centre would be moving fastest, grading out to static at the sides.
It's a shame since other clips look genuine. Why ruin the cred of the channel?.
Such is the internet. Some people just have to spread complete BS just for money.
@@topspeed250k5 Oh. Well thanks. I guess. The truth hurts, but it’s still good to know.
@@topspeed250k5if it's fake, then why do rocks tumble into the sides and back again? What looks faker is the localized rain. The clips show zero proof that it isn't a hose from the buildings shooting water up.
@@topspeed250k5 Utter bollocks.
13:29 - This is not just the only waterfall on earth that flows reverse; there are many in the Sahyadri range in Maharashtra, India. I grew up seeing one from a house in Trimbakeshwar, near Nashik in Maharashtra, India.
We also have one in Co Sligo Ireland. It's known as 'The Devil's Chimney'.
lots of these in iceland as well
Everyone should be aware that anything unusual in the UK only happens in the UK. It's better for tourism that way.
(/sarcasm)
I was about to say this, the best reverse waterfall u could see in India is situated near Pune called as Sinhgad. And there would be more waterfalls.
Sometime in the 80's traveling to Vegas, at a rest stop between Barstow and Baker we experienced that rain on my dad's car. It only rained on my dad's car, in fact on half of the car.
That happened to me!! I was just remembering that When I read your comment
Did you see anybats?
I live in North Carolina. Near the east of North Carolina, you can quite often drive thru small clouds that pour rain. One minute you are getting drenched, the next the road is completely dry
@@susanchandler4820 Susan I lived in Wilmington for 26 years and can fully corroborate! All the locals laugh as the uninitiated clear off the beach for afternoon showers that last for brief moments!
I live in North Carolina in Mt. Airy at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has poured rain on my 15’ x 15’ patio and no where else. I stood right beside the pouring rain in the dry. It was weird.
@@susanchandler4820 I’m just south of Raleigh, and a few nights ago, while sitting on the screened porch, I could hear it raining in the next yard, while it was clear in my yard. Weird.
I live in the western part of NC and I know what you mean especially in the summer.
Same for me in Kansas
The waterfall videos are my favorites. That "backwards" one in the UK is beautiful. 😊
It is very common in the Faroe Islands, and there are a lot of them
I was amazed to see this content, I have never seen it in real life. Thanks for making a good video
1:27 tell me you nothing about nature without telling me. Good grief. Did they make sure to climb to the highest possible point? 🙄🙄🙄
The guys in Kazakhstan demonstrated something I noticed a while ago. The words "okay" and "wow" seem to have become popular worldwide regardless of language.
Interesting observation.
""Okay" is the most widely used word on the planet.

Clickbait. The thumbnail picture isn't even in the video. Don't waste your time watching if that's what you want to see.
If you want to find the footage of the thumbnail, you can find the video searching "Fish river in the desert". Although there's a lot of exaggerated videos about it haha
That was number 11. Lol
imagine being mad cause of clickbait ...
“That’s aboot as fresh as yer gonna get” says the man who sniffs moose antlers….😂
"Nice bull! Nice!" A true wordsmith 😂
Nice bull, eh?😊
That's the most normal thing the guy did all day
He graduated in moose antlers sniffing 😅
damned click bait. I wanted to see the phenomenon in the thumbnail. grrrrrrr
Me too! I wish they would stop doing that.
IKR
Upon close inspection, I think it's just a picture of a flash flood that somebody touched up with weird colors. 😕
yup. really lame. I won't subscribe specifically for that reason.
Well thanks for the heads up.
I have witnessed this rain phenomenon happen about 3 times. The first time, it blew my mind because I was very young; around 10 years old. My family & I were coming from Alabama, headed to Pittsburgh, and somewhere between Kentucky & Ohio, we drove straight through it. It was dry outside and sunny, and all of a sudden, we drove straight through an area on the freeway that where it was raining, but a few feet ahead, it was dry again. It happened again earlier this year, and again about a month ago. And I'm not talking about like it's raining in one neighborhood and not in the other. I'm talking about it being dry as hell on the road, then all of a sudden, you're walking INTO an area where it's raining, and then all of a sudden it's dry again a few feet ahead!😂😂😂
It happened to us with snow. It was snowing in one area for a few minutes and then it spread to the entire area. You could see the wall of snow. Very cool!
I saw it in Fiji and in Hervey Bay in Australia. But it was a little larger area than this. Probably like 15-20m across, like about a quarter of a football field.
I have also seen the rain in one small place only once
- I love videos like this !. Who else does !?

Mother Nature is magnificent
More dangerous than magnificent!😮
"God", not mother nature
@user-ko7cu6ni7b please. Nature doesn't need help from your myths
@@StanZ-i6w Both. Scary and inspirational.
Flow backward? No. Blow backward? Yes. ☝🏻😎
@@cbquid2513 And the moron says it is 1 in a billion. Most definitely living in a very small bubble. Just hope that it doesn't burst.
I was thinking it was only doing that because the wind was blowing so hard! You can hear how hard the wind was blowing with the phone. Im thinking that the waterfall was still going down, but due to the wind being so rough, it's blowing the water backward.
People like to describe these things so they sound much more amazing than they really are.
The individual rain clouds over the cars on the highway is not a myth or a made-up story. I actually experienced it in Mayaguez Puerto Rico back in 1972. I wish I had a smartphone then! We live in a surprising, amazing world.
The term “firefall” used in Yosemite came from the days when the forestry department would gather wood cuttings on top of Glacier Point in Yosemite, and on summer evenings set it on fire before pushing it over the side with a bulldozer at 9 PM. Campers used to stand in the valley, looking up yelling “let the fire fall!” And it was a thrill for us kids. They did this for almost 100 years until January 1968.
Fog flowing over mountain ridges happens almost every evening in Mill Valley, CA during summer. The fog from the coast pushes over the ridge of Mt Tamalpais and sinks down into the valley below.
That's how the band got it's name Firefall
Yes, the firefall was thrilling. Those were happy days of camping
I was fortunate to have witnessed the fire falls while camping at Yosemite with our family!!😁
Like fingers gripping the coastal range... I love fog.
I live in Marin County. Know the fog well.
Thank God someone pulled out a camera! Probably saved all their lives!
Cameraman never dies?
GOD sure does protect us all, even when we aren't using our heads
🙌 🙏 🙌
The “fluff fire” was incredible.
But the fire dept was called to stop further damage?? It looked to me like the "fluff fire" was doing nothing but improving the area !!
Cottonwoods would fluff & the fluff had cottonseed oil in it so when you light it it burns rapidly. But being it was an amusement park...you quickly stomped that fire out as there is so much trees, wood. outdoor rugs & plastic & paint that could also burn. It took a couple of guys to stomp out the fire (the parks manager was showing off). as he had the lighter. Meaning, he had done this before as the amusement park was +20years old. Sneakers killed the flames. It was cool to watch it burn for a short while, you are immediately thinking of "buddies" house that you are not friends with and does he have fluff? Lit wayward cigarette and poof.
Truly magic.
Someone should rake the ground if it’s so flammable, just doesn’t make sense to me
Hmmm… only fire in history to go in opposite direction as wind..? Looks like reversed footage. 🤷
I always appreciate your videos, but this one was better than usual! Thanks for what you do, and you are appreciated!
Talking about isolated rain. I lived in Phoenix for 10 years and one day there was a thunderstorm that did not move. I was standing and looking straight up a wall of the thunderstorm. It was nearly a perfectly straight wall going up. The weird thing was, I pulled into a flooded parking lot of a completely dry street. I was just a matte of a foot between a heavy down pour and a dry street. I was living at a apartment and there was a tremendous downpour. We had nearly 4 inches of rain in a hour. But if you traveled 1 mile in any direction, there was no rain. They showed it on the news were there was this heavy rain and then no where else in Phoenix had rain.
That's pretty weird actually.
That rain phenomenon just is just a sign that we're in "The Truman Show" world.
Happens in Florida alot
Experienced that for a couple years in Ft. Lauderdale.
@brianscarola1850 Yeah, in Tampa, you can be standing outside completely dry and across the street from you it will be pouring rain.
This documentary was VERY WELL DONE! Each phenomenon was given plenty of viewing time -- not rushed. Very thorough explanations for each event. Thank you for this informative and well-produced documentary!
Nature truly never ceases to amaze! These rare moments remind us how incredible our planet is. 🌍💚
That fire video is straight out of Fantasia. Such a awesome phenomena
EXTREMELY dangerous though. That's how many raging forest fires start. Grass fires look like that. Fire will even burn in wet areas w/several inches of water on ground. NEVER think a cigarette thrown in ditch or a still warm campfire won't cause a deviating fire.
earlier compilations on other channels showed the same clip, with the narrative being the fire department / parks board set the fire.
So this is how it can be raining at the front of my house and not raining in the backyard. Cool!
I was washing-up in the kitchen during the summer when my children were young, looking out over the back garden and it started to rain. Called to my hubby (who was in the front room watching the football, it was Sunday, bless him) 'Grab the washing off the line please, poppet, it's raining'. 'No it isn't', says he, looking out of the front window. 'Bloody well is ya lazy git...' We were both right, the front garden was dry and everything in the back garden was drenched, still spent the afternoon giving each other the beady eye though 😅
Great story!@@lisahumphries3927
This happens in Florida all the time
Was a clip matching the picture at the beginning?
I didn't see one😢
खूपच सुंदर वीडिओ.पुन्हापुन्हा असेच पाठवत रहा!!
Amazing nature!
The first video, I'm sure if someone lifted a fork in the air, mother nature would have said "enough... *LIGHTNING!*"
Better yet, if one of the men had raised his erect penis!😅
Yosemite indeed had a real 'fire fall' here. I remember seeing it as a child. They would toss burning embers off the cliff for an amazing sight at night! I remember all the fire trucks waiting to put out any runaway embers.
I saw the firefall from Camp Curry and Glacier Point over 100 times camping in Yosemite NEVER saw any firetrucks. The burning coals landed on a ledge about 1000 ft down from Glacier Point.
@@richardwendt4612 I would imagine it depended on where you were viewing the fire falls from...but there were definitely fire trucks waiting in the area where we were. I do not remember which area specifically, but close to Camp Curry. I'm talking the 1960s.
@@catbee1452 I don't doubt your recollection. I just never saw fire trucks there and never heard of any related fires. I visited Yosemite from 1948 until the late 50's. I climbed the "ledge trail" behind Camp Curry which was a 3/4 mile trail to Glacier Point. Age restriction was 16 yrs old, and used the ledge that the firefall landed on I was told. I was not old enough to complete the trail and only went up to the timberline. I understand that trail is no longer used.
So, wouldn't that make it a waterRISE rather than a waterfall? :-)
There are also upside down waterfalls on the wet side of Oahu.
Years ago, I read a short anecdote, in Time magazine I think it was. A guy and a friend were hiking in the Colorada wilderness around 1940. They stopped at a small river and it was hot so they stripped naked and went for a swim. He got out and was lying on the bank, and his friend emerged and stood there still wet, glistening in the sun. Suddenly, a huge swarm of vivid blue butterflies landed on his friend, totally covering every part of his body for a few seconds. He said the image was mesmerising, the most incredible thing he ever saw in his life. I don't wonder.
I was fortunate enough to witness #1 in Albuquerque, NM one monsoon season. The clouds didn't 'slide' down the Sandia Mountain range but actually 'rolled.' After they rolled over the top and down a few hundred feet the remainder slid down. It was AMAZING!! 😯💚
I thought the Sandias were beautiful when they were pink at sunset (Sandia translates to "watermelon." Named for those rare occasions of when they appear pink during sunset. There's also the Manzano range nearby translating to "apple" for same reason). Once I saw the Sandias turn purple after a monsoon; also spectacular, but the waterfall clouds were the highlight & the rarest. 🙂
As for the rain in only a spot, Houston gets those showers regularly. But I can top that. Once I was with a group of about 5 people and it started showering - on ME. Yup, ONLY ON ME. I couldn't believe it. I'd have thought I imagined it except, besides getting wet, there were others equally as dumbfounded. No explanation at all. Absolutely bizarre.
The cloud “waterfall” was so cool!!!
Go to CA. West of San Mateo and Belmont, in the SF bay area, is a long river next to a ridge. Fog from the ocean flows over the ridge, near sunset, and falls down towards the lake. It can appear to splash as it gets to the water. Very beautiful. It happens in summer time, nearly every day.
When your hair stands up you better RUN
Agree. Is it a special human sense? 🌩⚡🔥🌊
Actually, since you brought that up, you should move as slow as possible, because speeding in the zone of a positive charge can call the bolt directly at you. You can re-create that effect on a static towel or a blanket, if you move your hand around slowly - it tickles. If you move it fast - it stings you.
The *LEAST* thing you want to do is to run, while being *inside* the storm cloud.
@jayswarrow1196 Thanks, Jay! I learned something new today!
Ways of nature. Incredible.
When I was in grad school a friend and I were crossing a field as a shortcut to our dorm and we started feeling static electricity. My friend hollered to hit the dirt and we dove to the ground. We'd just turned to look at each other when there was an intense flash with an incredible "Boom!", and the ground seemed to jump. There was a tree about ten yards beyond where he was so I got the full brilliance of the flash when lighting hit that tree and shattered it.
As for rain, several times I've experienced being in the house or yard and seeing rain falling on one side and not on the other. In one instance it was raining on the street but not on my yard or on the neighbor's yard across the street! We saw the same thing happen with snow once; we were in the yard of one professor's house in nice sunshine while it snowed on two houses across the street, leaving two or three inches of fresh snow before in vanished.
I've seen that phenomenon with ice, too. The river behind campus at grad school had frozen over solid enough to walk on (we used it as a shortcut to a grocery store). I was on the jogging path along the river one day when an ice surge came down stream, a sheet of large ice slabs and chunks sliding over the ice near me, I stopped to watch which kept me from being where a tree jutted over the river when a huge ice slab caught on its roots, changing the flow of the ice so a stream of it "flowed" right up onto shore and over the jogging path.
Cloud waterfalls? They happen dozens of time a year where I now live on the Pacific coast!
No, lightning is not about to strike. Neither is there a storm. It just static electricity from the wind and dryness. This happens all over high deserts. It can be spooky. But there is no lightning. I have seen the same thing countless times up in the mountains above tree line.
Depends on where you live. In Florida, lightning here kills about 7 people per year, and is why we pause major sports events when thunderstorms are in the area. I haven't had my head hair stand on end like the video, but I have had my arm hair raise up just before a nearby strike. Not something to ignore.
You are correct. When it indicates imminent lightning the lightning follows in less than a second.
One of them guys in that first segment had no hair to stand on end.....🤣
3:40 intrusive thoughts, of course I want to slide down it!
Thanks for bringing all these wonders of nature to us.
This is the perfect way to unwind after a long day
WOW!!! The cloud waterfalls were amazing
5:05, bunch of people on the roof peeing
Too much beer?
Love this video. That title attracted me, your voice keep me here to the end this video.
I saw the cloud waterfall thing in Rocky Mountain Park in the 1970’s. It was not fast like your video but nicely slow which I liked better. Very memorable
That Fluff Fire was cool
All that I see in the video was amazing most" The cloud waterfall " is my favorite,seems like magic, absolutly beautiful, kisses from Puerto Rico 💋💋💋💋
The cloud waterfall was by far the best one . Watching a moose shed their antlers is a close 2nd .
I saw that movie, it was called The Mist.
We get cloud waterfalls on the San Francisco Peninsula all the time.
What's the difference between an elk and a moose ? Are those two different animals?
@@coucoubrandy1079 use google . lol . yes they are 2 different animals .
I thought the same!
Great interesting video as usual from this channel, but there is one phenomenon that happens every other day in Cape Town, in South Africa. That’s the cascade of rolling clouds over the flat Table Mountain. I filmed it many times. Still spectacular and no need to go to China! 😉
Thx for suggestion of one more location! Apart from cloud water fall, China has more to offer😊
@@mC-tb9jw Of course it does! I’ve been there many times 😄
the localized rain is adorable.
The moose antler shed was so cool, awesome video and retrieve.
Honestly images like this are why smartphones and drones are amazing inventions. Thanks for the video!
Btw, you missed the reverse waterfall and the firefall in the chapter list.
We see cloud waterfalls all the time in the SF bay area when the fog comes rolling over the hills. It doesn't flow as far as the one shown here, but it's still pretty to watch.
I used to stand in the pantry of my apartment that looked over Twin Peaks and watch the fog rolling in.
I hated seeing those when I was at the airport. I knew my flight wasn't going to happen.
I live in the north bay and see them all the time just north of the golden gate bridge
@@csc333 Yep
The burning seeds from minute 11:45 was a controlled fire performed by the firefighters of that town to remove them. It happens annually
i was at the beach (which was backed by sand dunes) with my friend and for a maybe 5- 10 seconds (we are just arguing exactly how long!) and suddenly there was TOTAL i mean a TOTAL absence of sound, nothing, no sound off in the distance - just nothing, then it all came back, truly it was the most amazing thing ever, i mean there were waves, wind etc!!! it was like a switch had been turned off. and no we were not on any mind altering stuff. has anyone ever heard (or not heard!!! lol) of this phenomenon before?
La nuvola di Fantozzi... 😂😂😂😂 Mitico!
As an avid nature lover, this was super engaging. Thank you!
Something about that rockslide was so satisfying. I almost DID want to dip my toe in it. 😂
that individual rain would've been the perfect opportunity to grab an umbrealla and capture a once in a lifetime photo.
Amazing that a group of people are all that ignorant of the danger they were in. Real life Idiocracy.
It’s nice to see these kind of unpredicted phenomenon, good sharing
You are my favorite channel on UA-cam.
4:05 this happened to me 1985 in scotland, it cut a straight line across the street where i could hop back and forth from rain to shine. when i tell people about it they can't believe that it is even possible.
If you don't realize hair standing up = danger you should never be out in nature without guides, pure ignorance.
One time on the backway to Vegas coming home, which ends up in 29 Palms, my friend and I caught something similar to the Isolated Rain. But it was Snow. We saw where it was Snowing in this one section, off the road a little. Standing in it felt Weird, and Amazing at the same time.
That rock river was super cool!
0:23 the best calming sound
