China needs to call Rihanna for umbrellas to resist this freak of nature.

Citizens of the Chinese Province of liaoning they were told to find shelter after it looked like it was starting to rain worms.

A viral video showed that the area was apparently flooded with small worms, which were splashed all over the cars.

The video showed residents covering themselves with umbrellas as they went about their routines and walked around.

While the cause of the slimy creature’s calamity has yet to be discovered, the scientific journal Mother Nature Network has suggested that the animals were unleashed after being swept away by high winds.

The periodical also noted that this type of event occurs after a storm when insects are caught in a whirlwind.

Another theory suggested that the worms were actually poplar flowers – a tulip tree whose flowers resemble the twisting beasts.

Viewers were left stunned by the city’s current problem, with one person indicating: “These are not worms or animals, but stems of flowers fallen from trees.”

Someone else claimed the video was fake and looked like a prank.

“Strange phenomena”, a user addedwith another heavy“If I was just minding my business on a casual day in China and it started raining worms?? I would just die.

A similar bizarre event occurred last December when it was believed that iguanas might be raining down trees in Florida due to colder temperatures.

“They slow down or stop when it’s below 40,” said WFTV weatherman Brian Shields. posted on Twitter last winter. “They may fall from trees, but they are not dead.”

The incident would not be uncommon when cold weather hits the Sunshine state. When temperatures drop, reptiles become stiff and fall to the ground.

While diving thermometers stun invasive reptiles, iguanas won’t necessarily die. Many will simply wake up as temperatures rise.
