I asked Sidd:
\nIs there a limiting factor to the size of raindrops… that will prevent them from becoming lethal?
\n“Availability of water vapor and intensity of updrafts within a cloud determine the size of a raindrop. Larger drops tend to result from the vigorous updrafts within a thunderstorm and fall faster than smaller drops.”
\nSidd replied:
\ndunno,
\nbut if it freezes, yes, it can kill you.
\ni imagine around a centimeter is about as big as raindrops can get …
\nwould break up bigger than that for sure. i imagine there are studies somewhere
\n… never heard of raindrops killing anyone, but hail, yes.<\/p>\n
LYRICS
\nAbout the reign of rain
\nWe can train to sustain
\nRemain
\nAs for the strain of rain
\nUse our brain to maintain
\nRemain
\nBut you know
\nWhen the temperature’s low
\nThe laws of physics please
\nUse to flow
\nNow won’t go
\nSure did turn solid
\nCause you know
\nWhen the temperature’s low
\nLiquid tends to freeze
\nWhat a shock
\nFeels like a rock
\nSure did turn solid
\nHell, the rain won’t kill
\nBut, the hail will<\/p>\n
2. Though rain’s reign goes on
\nYou know it won’t last long
\nTill hail raises hell
\nHow much longer is hard to tell
\n(chorus)<\/p>\n
