WATCH: Gaga’s ‘Rain On Me’ routine almost ends in tragedy for one fan
Lady Gaga released her duet with Arianna Grande last week, entitled “Rain On Me”. Fans have praised the video and worked hard to learn the dance moves, posting the results to social media.
What could be more impressive than just recreating the moves? How about performing the dance as actual rain lashes down upon you?

When one social media influencer, Andres Castro (@andresqcastro) in Houston, Texas, saw rain forecast, the vegan chef took the opportunity to show off his “Rain On Me” moves in his back yard. However, the routine had to be quickly aborted when a tree came hurtling toward him.
Much of South Texas was lashed by extreme storms yesterday, with some local authorities even issuing tornado warnings.

Castro also posted the video to Twitter, where’s it’s been viewed over a million times. “I said Rain on Me not drop a tree on me,” he said in a caption accompanying the video.
