Filter by threat level:
| Case # | Phenomenon | Threat | Duration | Witness Testimony | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DUW-0001 | Indoor Rain Precipitation / Interior | Annoying | 11:00 to 11:47, daily | “It only falls inside the kitchen, and only when the kettle is about to boil. It does not wet the floor; it wets the decision to make tea.” M. Okafor, Tenant, Apt 4B | Deemed necessary to cool enthusiasm. |
| DUW-0002 | Wednesday-shaped Fog Atmospheric / Temporal | Ontological | Every Wednesday, 03:00 to 04:00 | “The fog is not in the shape of a Wednesday, it IS the shape of a Wednesday. You cannot enter it; you can only become it. It smells faintly of paperwork.” Dr. E. Vasquez, Fog Liaison | Calendar integrity maintained. |
| DUW-0003 | Apologetic Lightning Electrical / Social | Harmless | 0.3 seconds, twice nightly | “Every strike is preceded by a small 'sorry' written in the sky. It strikes only objects that have wronged someone. It has never missed.” T. Brennan, Night Clerk | Politeness confirmed. |
| DUW-0004 | Wind that only exists when watched Kinetic / Observational | Ontological | Continuous, while observed | “The moment you look away, the wind stops. It is not that it hides; it is that it is shy. Wind speed is inversely proportional to confidence.” S. Lindqvist, Observer | Unverifiable by definition. |
| DUW-0005 | Backward Hail Precipitation / Reversed | Annoying | 3 minutes, unannounced | “The hail falls upward, then apologizes by falling down. It is the only precipitation that arrives before it leaves.” R. Patel, Grounds | Trajectory reviewed, reversed. |
| DUW-0006 | Second-hand Sunshine Radiative / Secondary | Harmless | All day, borrowed | “The light here is not produced; it is inherited from a brighter city two hundred miles away. It is warm, but slightly apologetic about being secondhand.” A. Moreau, Resident | Luminance budget balanced. |
| DUW-0007 | Gravity that leans left Fundamental / Tilted | Ontological | Permanent, since 1994 | “Objects do not fall down; they fall down-and-to-the-left. Nobody has noticed because everyone has always walked slightly right to compensate.” C. Nakamura, Physicist | Awaiting level surface. |
| DUW-0008 | Scheduled Silence Acoustic / Administrative | Annoying | 14:00 to 14:05, weekdays | “For five minutes each afternoon, all sound is filed away for later. You can see people speaking, but their words arrive at 14:05, all at once.” P. Osei, Office | Noise backlog cleared daily. |
| DUW-0009 | Persistent Drizzle of Questions Precipitation / Interrogative | Annoying | During any unresolved meeting | “Fine droplets of 'but why' and 'are you sure' accumulate on every surface. They evaporate the moment a decision is made.” L. Haddad, Committee | Inquiry volume excessive. |
| DUW-0010 | Echoes arriving early Acoustic / Temporal | Ontological | Variable, up to 3 days lead | “You hear the echo before the sound. It is the department's way of giving you a preview, and also a warning you cannot use.” J. Whitfield, Archivist | Preview protocol active. |
| DUW-0011 | Commemorative Humidity Atmospheric / Memorial | Harmless | On anniversaries only | “On certain dates the air grows thick with the humidity of a specific past afternoon, usually one that mattered. It is the weather's way of remembering.” N. Alvarez, Local | Memorial moisture approved. |
| DUW-0012 | Reluctant Thunder Electrical / Hesitant | Harmless | After every lightning, delayed | “The thunder arrives, then thinks better of it, then arrives again more quietly. It is the sound of a decision being unmade.” K. Ito, Listener | Volume under review. |
