* 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.

* ''[[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.
