Rainstorm

Hello, meteorology major here. What you're seeing is a micro/macroburst, basically a really intense downdraft. The rain cooled air is colder and more dense than its surroundings so it rapidly sinks, when it hits the ground it spreads out in all directions and can cause damage to the same degree as an EF-3 tornado. (135 mph/215 kph) It is almost like taking a big bucket of water an dumping it on the ground all at once.

So Mr. meteorology major, is there any sort of weather phenomenon where it looks like a lake is falling from the sky or is that gif the closest im going to get?
Also, do you pronounce 'gif' with a hard g like grape or Gotham, or a soft g like gin or giraffe?

Just because it wasn't the ending you wanted, doesn't mean it was bad ending.

That being said, I also hated the ending.

Bad? As in, low quality?

you got to admit though the ending was pretty funny. Like the guy shoots everyone in the in like 2 seconds flat and then as he gets out of the car the military just rolls on in. So fucking stupid.

Well, the ending was different from that of the original. In Stephen King's book, it's actually less depressing. But I think the movie's ending had more impact that way.
