Common occurrences of this nature

New York Post reported that "worm rain has yet to be explained, but Mother Nature Network suggests that it might be caused by heavy winds that brought the slimy creatures down. A report from the periodical indicated that this type of occurrence is common after a storm when insects are caught up in whirlpools. 

Even though the video appeared fake, a Chinese journalist, Shen Shiwei, claimed that Beijing had not been experiencing any rain recently. Shen Shiwei tweeted, "I am in Beijing and this video is false. It hasn't rained here lately."
