cloudburst

When an Amazon facility lost power in a storm this week, it caused a major cloudburst of its own.

Once black clouds gathered in the distance, to pour out a cloudburst.

A deep sheet of water swept down from the prairie beyond the town limits to the west, where the rainfall was a cloudburst.

Before it lay a long descent, a cloudburst, the sunset of a civilization, another night.

Just a yielding here, a parting there, until the cloudburst precipitated the disaster.

The first awful effects of the cloudburst were passing, and the water was going down slowly but surely.
