    about a cubic meter per minute, which works out to 500 meters of water per minute

    Rain is usually calculated per m2.

    1 m3 per minute is 60 m3 per hour.
    10k mm rain per hour is 1 liter x 10k = 10 m3 per hour.

    So I make it out to about a sixth of your firehose. Which still makes it way worse than any kind of weather you would call rain.
    I’m not sure what other analogy would be closer?

    Edit: Corrected to the quote I actually responded to.
