'''Jane:''' [[You Just Had to Say It|Obviously, it can]]. }}

* When Emperor Kuzco is left alone in the forest in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'', this happens.

* In the ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' graphic novel ''Beyond the Code'', there's a couple of clouds in the sky as the full moon shines down on the Gathering. The cats comment how the drought might end since the the weather's cooler. An argument starts, and one cat runs away in anger. There's a flash of lightning and a KABOOM, and it's a downpour. Enough of a downpour to actually create a flood that fills [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110820222507/warriors/images/thumb/a/ad/SkyClan_Map.jpg/755px-SkyClan_Map.jpg this gorge] to just a few feet below the clifftops.

* In [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]'s ''[[The Monster Men]]'', after the attack, this happens.

 

== [[Film]] - Live Action ==

* Used for dramatic effect in ''[[Enchanted]]'', when Giselle comes to the Real World for the first time. After being completely lost and having her tiara stolen by a homeless guy, she stands helplessly in the middle of the street, hears thunder, and gets poured on from above.

* ''[[The Truman Show]]'': When Truman is sitting on the beach reminiscing, there is a clap of thunder and it begins to rain, but ''only'' where he is sitting. He walks three feet before turning around in shock to see the small column of rain as it follows him.

* ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'' features a classic comedic example during the grave-digging scene, after Igor makes a [[Tempting Fate|most unfortunate comment]] about the lack of rain.
