China: Black Rain Falls in Huizhou, Guangdong Following Local Warehouse Fire

This is the startling moment that residents experienced black rain, an unusual occurrence that dirtied vehicles and streets. On March 31, 2025, in Huizhou, Guangdong, the black rain could be seen staining everything it touched in the video. The phenomenon occurred shortly after a fire at the nearby Ande Logistics Warehouse, located next to the Huizhou West Station. The fire's intensity and proximity to weather systems resulted in the absorption of smoke and ash by rainclouds, leading to the precipitation of black rain over the city. Fortunately, the incident resulted in no casualties.

China: Burning Debris Flow Down Flooded River In Liaoning

On July 28, 2024, in Fushun, Liaoning, a northeastern province of China, a rare and startling natural spectacle occurred—fire floating on water. As heavy rains caused river levels to rise, piles of straws that had accumulated along the riverbank were swept downstream. Remarkably, some of this debris had caught fire, and the flames continued to burn as the straws floated along the current. This unusual occurrence of fire traveling on the water's surface, without being extinguished, produced thick black smoke and presented a frightening scene. According to the filmer Ms. Lin, the straw may have been artificially ignited to prevent excessive debris from piling up in the river along with the current and causing serious consequences.
