A meteorologist (weatherman!) once described the problem of predicting how much rain or snow will fall as being like dragging a rotating lawn sprinkler across a lawn by its hose. You must predict where it will be dragged, where it will change direction and where it might stall. All affect how wet the lawn will get. Often a thunder storm will exhibit strong updrafts that will keep raindrops aloft while they accumulate and even produce freezing hail (golf ball sized?) that rise and fall several times adding coats of ice. The rain or melting hail will produce the maximum sized raindrops (always much smaller than golf balls) and rain may be very heavy when released by updrafts. Into every like a little rain must fall. Sometimes it is very heavy, right? Water weighs about 62.4 pounds per cubic fool and all rain is equally heavy, if you collect enough.

Precipitation in the form of rain or snow occurs when particles of water or ice are large enough to reach the ground. The chief difference between a cloud drop and a rain drop is size. A typical rain drop has a volume that is more than a million times that of a cloud drop. Thus it takes many cloud droplets to make up a single raindrop. Raindrops can be produced by the collision and merging of cloud droplets. Collisions take place because the terminal velocity of a water drop increases as its size increases, over the normal size range of cloud droplets and raindrops. Large droplets fall faster then collide with and merge with smaller ones. When two rain droplets merge, "coalescence" has taken place. As a result of coalescence, the large drops can grow fairly rapidly.
Raindrops are also produced by the melting of ice crystals, snowflakes, and other frozen particles. When ice crystals exist in the presence of "supercooled" water droplets in subfreezing air, the crystals grow as the droplets evaporate. There is a pressure force driving the water molecules from the water to the ice, resulting in a rapid growth of ice crystals in the presence of liquid cloud droplets.
As ice crystals grow, the heavier ones fall. As a result, collisions and merging occur. A snowflake can be made up of a group of crystals stuck together. When such a particle falls through a layer of air whose temperature is above freezing, the crystals melt and raindrops are produced. In mountainous areas during the winter, valley locations often experience rain while snow falls at higher elevations.

The reason for the original flood was divine judgment.
God made a promise to mankind that He would never flood the world again and His promise still stands today as we look up at His bow in the in the sky! Genesis 9:13
Today it pours down but His promise still stands !
