Citations for cloudburst
I wanted to leave earlier because one fellow had brought jazz records, and jazz drives me up the wall, but it started raining--a real cloudburst. The skylight started leaking, and we had to put pots and pans around to catch the drips.
Thunders rolled … Then came a culminating crash--a shock whose reverberations seemed to shake land and sea alike--and on its heels a cloudburst whose drenching violence overpowered the darkened world as if the heavens themselves had opened up to pour forth a vindictive torrent.
