“At first she thought it was a busted fire hydrant, then she said, “This is the weirdest rain I’ve ever seen in my life.””
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states the woman initially mistook the rain for a busted fire hydrant and later called it the weirdest rain she'd ever seen. While the web search results for Claim 0 mention the phenomenon and the general 'weirdest rain' aspect, the specific detail about her *initially* mistaking it for a busted fire hydrant is not corroborated by multiple independent sources. The evidence for Claim 1 is drawn from general web searches about unrelated topics (busted hydrants, Quora, NYC hydrants), not the specific incident described in Claim 0. Therefore, the specific sequence of events described in Claim 1 cannot be confirmed by multiple sources.
