That same 'static-like' sound that rain makes when it smacks down on concrete real hard is the same sound an 'armageddon flame' would make. ;P

Answer 2

well if you think about it and youve seen armegeddon than you know it comes fast and with alot of force so it means its coming down fast with alot of force
