China: Students Run Across Athletic Field Amidst Heavy Rainfall, High Winds In Changsha

On April 29, the city of Changsha, Hunan Province was hit by a sudden downpour of heavy rain, even hail in some areas. At Hunan Agriculture University, two students were captured running on the athletic field in the torrential downpour. Although they had an umbrella in their hands, it didn't help much as it was repeatedly blown inside out by high winds. The video owner guessed that these two students must have left something important in the classroom to go out in such severe weather and said the video was taken at about 1:00 p.m., but it was as dark as night.
