raining and really raining are two very different things. The only similarity is the fact that both consist of falling water. rain, is everything you have ever experienced. Everything from a faint mist to a heavy downpour. rain is appreciated and well liked by the world and it's inhabitants, and for good reason. it keeps us all alive. really raining is a completely different concept.

the average rain drop is 1 to 2 mm in diameter. even with a great deal of them they are light and harmless. when it is really raining, only a few hundred drops fall at a time, and they fall spread out over the entire earths surface. the thing is, each rain drop weighs several dozen metric tonnes and comes in a perfectly cubical shape. these massive rain drops are spaced far apart, but there is enough water contained in one to completely submerge a 2 story house.

if you are unlucky enough to be caught underneath one of these behemoths, there is very little you can do to save your self. The sheer weight and velocity of the rain drop will crush almost anything beneath it. assuming a person is standing vertically beneath the plummeting drop, a few things happen in the space of a few milliseconds. traveling that fast, the water will be like a block of cement. the force will collapse the spine into itself, mashing each vertebrae into one solid block of spinal column. at this point the person in question is about 2 and 1/2 feet tall and they subsequently drown in the water after it hits the ground....
