China: Localized Storm Splits Street in Half With Rain on One Side, Dry on the Other

This is the striking moment that a sudden localized storm turned one street into two distinct weathers, one side was drenched by heavy rain, while the other side remained completely dry. On June 12, 2025, in Shanxi, Taiyuan, the video captured one half of a street was swept by torrential rain, while the opposite side stayed untouched. The pedestrians and quick-moving cars seeking shelter on the rainy side, umbrellas opened hastily. The juxtaposition was startling, raindrops visibly stopped at an invisible boundary, creating two contrasting microclimates within mere meters of each other. The video ended with the camera panning across the street, capturing the stark contrast one last time before the rain slowly faded away.

Gao felt even more excited when he was on patrol with his squad leader Zhou Linping to the national border for the first time and renewed the boundary monument.
