Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, by Judi Barrett, illustrated by Ron Barrett, Scholastic, New York, 1978.
I don’t know if this is the inspiration for the movie with the same name. Very likely it is. In the town of Chewandswallow the weather delivers food, rather than rain or snow. However, over time the storms become more and more violent. This book does not give any reason why this might be happening. It does point out that the clean-up crew is overwhelmed, and everyone decides to leave for their own safety. Having food fall on you can be dangerous.
