The deadly rain is predicted beforehand, and residents hiding in structurally sounds buildings survive, with some homes not being able to withstand the rain's acidic qualities. Some Funny Town denizens suspect that the cause of the rain may have been the work of a supreme being, but there is not enough evidence to confirm.
