Residents of a Taiwanese city were stunned to see heavy rain pounding down on a small pocket of their hometown while other neighbourhoods stayed completely dry.
The amazing natural phenomenon was captured by a drone flown by a resident who described the scene as a 'rain waterfall'.
Taiwan weather experts say the downpour was a regional thunderstorm over an extremely small area and is common in the subtropical island in summer.
