What Is The Explanation Of This Video Where It Is Raining In A Single Place?

There’s a viral video that claims to show “rain falling in one place” in an apparent waterfall that would originate in the sky. However, it is about something else in reality.

Summary

The most important thing to know about this video is that it doesn’t show rain failling from the sky. A water pipe burst and the jet reached a considerable height. The issue was quickly fixed by the water company workers, but the video became viral.

The legend accompanying several publications with this video says: “Rain that falls in one place … Our God is the God of rain”. According to the person commenting on what he is recording, he is on the Akosombo-Tema road in southeastern Ghana.

An observed vehicle has the letters “GH” on the license plate and another one, a Ghana sticker. Still, it is not clear who recorded the video. You only hear that the voice-over describes what you see as something “incredible.” It’s while a piece of music plays in the background.

The video had many reproductions in Spanish and English. This single publication shows it was shared more than 1.3 million times since September 12, 2016. It’s when it began to circulate.

The same video also had a lot of popularity on YouTube in Spanish and several profiles in English on Facebook. It was with the same legend or almost.

In general, the video does not show the upper part of the water jet. When it becomes visible, it is still evident that the water falls back under the cloud and is not falling from the sky.

Another video was published days before. It seems to show the same place. However, from another angle: you can see the middle trees in the background and lots of sand or earth around.

This material was shared by Israel Laryea on Facebook and shared 149 times.

Through the publication of Laryea, the AFP contacted Ashong Mawufemor. He recorded and published the second video in 2016 while on his way to a festival in Agotime, in eastern Ghana.

“I was traveling. When I saw this, I thought something. Wait, I’ll park the car and see what this is. I realized it was a pipeline with water that had burst, “said Mawufemor.

According to him, the jet reached a height of about three and a half meters.

“Before I moved away from the place, Ghana Water Company workers had already arrived at the site. It was not rain falling from the sky,” he adds.

“I went back there a couple of times. They fixed it,” Mawufemor told AFP.

There seems to be continuity in the images between the ground and the sky through this jet. Only a large amount of water flows with pressure from a pipeline following a rupture.
