Torrential Rains

The raindrops crash to the ground with exceptional might. Each floods onto the asphalt and joins the pools of water already being formed and pushed along by the strong winds. Torrential rain is any amount of rain that is considered especially heavy. There is not a formal definition of torrential rains as recognized by the National Weather Service. The proclamation that rains are torrential simply means the amount of rain is abundant, had a fast on-set, or lasts for a long period of time.
