Black Rain



"This black rain began falling on many parts of the globe. The impact of the blast from all types of nuclear weapons, whenever they're nuclear bombs, mines, missiles and artillery shells, and also whenever they're tactical or strategic, had sent dust, debris, and radiation high into the atmosphere where it gathered in a gigantic, lethal cloud before returning to the earth as radioactive rain. The superweapons (or weapons of mass destruction) that had fallen on respective civilian, infrastructure and military targets... some 90% of World War III-affected worlds had vanished. But the damage did not end there. The people of all these worlds like me, the Preschool Girls, my friends and my fellow countrymen in South Korea did not know it yet, but the nuclear war's after-effects, such as the black rain would bring us many years of suffering unless you either put on a hazmat suit, a gas mask and goggles, run away to your fallout shelters, and/or take a daily dose of RadAway or potassium iodide, which I can do all of these anti-radiation routines just daily."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Kuroi Ame

Black rain (Japanese: 黒い雨; tr. Kuroi ame) can be fallen in cumulonimbus flammagenitus clouds, like both Hiroshima and Nagasaki particularly for example (particularly).

Don't open your mouth and drink it when it comes, because that's too dangerous. If you try to do so, your throat might've been parched, but it would've been difficult to capture it into your mouth.

The rain is made black by ash and smoke, which has been sucked up into the rising mushroom cloud, when these ashes mixed with cool, humid air, so in the upper atmosphere, they form thick, black raindrops, and fall back down onto the nuclear explosion-affected area.

The drops of rain are big enough to hurt when they hit your skin. It descends in a torrent, black fluid, which flows when the rain falls. It would rain black fluid.

If you drank the rain, you'd realize that it's highly radioactive. In time, it would poison many thousands, so don't drink the black rain in case of a nuclear catastrophe! It's for your own health and for humanity's sake.

Also, after the Great Firestorm and before a nuclear winter happens, black rain COULD fall down during the Last Day, but the only way to counter the black rain and all of its radioactive effects (or fallout for short) for all spared cities are the Anti-Black Rain Dome, which are made out of silicon.

Black rain can also be drinkable if purified by a Black Rain Purifier (a type of water purifier that clears black rainwater from radioactive materials).
