Shotgun Rain...

... that's what I've heard rain called that has a sharp demarcation between what gets wet and what doesn't- so sharp a distinction that, should you lean your double-barrel shotgun against a tree, you might find one barrel filled and the other not...

What an incredible shot. I have seen the phenonium in Arizona but never a picture . We say down here you can keep your body dry and wash your hands

Everything has to start and stop somewhere. Great shot of where the line lies on this one!

I, too, have observed this phenomenon, and in Arizona, also. However it was MANY years ago - probably around 1940 or so. When driving from Southern California to Arizona we saw ahead what appeared to be a most ominous sky. Approaching this very dark area we suddenly were in a downpour. It had been just as described, and as pictured here - a veritable waterfall, on one side it was sunny and clear, on the other, pouring rain!

Riding a motorbike, I had one follow me down the road for a good while and found a good place to shelter before it overtook. I was laughing all the way.

I have never heard it called that, but I have experienced it several times. Nice shot as evidence.

Nice. Looks like a leaking water tower to me.
Not quite, kpmac, it's actually a flow test for new fire suppression pumps- though, I too, have seen genuine rain that looked exactly the same!
