LYRICS
\nIf you open the door
\nAnd take a step out
\nYou might find some more
\nOf what I’m talking about
\nThe Reign of Rain
\nIs pounding my head
\nIt’ll drive you insane
\n’till you wish you were dead
\nChinese water torture
\nThat’s for sure
\nThe dripping of the rain
\nIs getting to my brain<\/p>\n
If you open the door
\nAnd take a step out
\nYou might find some more
\nOf what I’m talking about
\nThe Reign of Rain
\nIs pounding my head
\nIt’ll drive you insane
\n’till you wish you were dead
\nNever a moment dull
\nDripping on my skull
\nGet it through my head
\nThe climate change dread<\/p>\n
If you open the door
\nAnd take a step out
\nYou might find some more
\nOf what I’m talking about
\nThe Reign of Rain
\nIs pounding my head
\nIt’ll drive you insane
\n’till you wish you were dead
\nWind whistling through my ear
\nMakes it hard to hear
\nWhat’s becoming clear
\nEasy isn’t near<\/p>\n
Chinese Water Torture.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n Chords: G C A D \/ D A E A \/ Bridge A Ab G G Ab A The song was written during an extreme weather event.<\/p>\n Violent Rain<\/b> Mass is not the only factor in violent rain. The greater the mass of the rain the more the wind turbulence is intensified. Professor Paul D. Williams of the University of Reading, UK, said, “They are chaotic<\/b> (chaos theory<\/a>). Turbulence<\/b> is known famously as the hardest problem in physics.” In their study Evidence for Large Increases in Clear-Air Turbulence Over the Past Four Decades<\/a>, Prof. Williams and his team found “Climate change has caused turbulence to double in the last 40 years” and is expected to double or triple again in the next decades.<\/p>\n The momentum of rain and the turbulence of wind are part of a larger equation that includes not only the mass and velocity of precipitation but also the density. The combination of these variables results in an increased intensity of the flow dynamics<\/b>. Increased updrafts will result in an increase in the frequency of hail. When violent rain becomes denser and turns into hail, it can be deadly. Ground without groundcover will be hit harder causing more damage. The groundcover will also be hit harder causing more damage. Concrete, asphalt, solar panels, roofs, and plants will sustain more damage. Hail may also impact your skull. Infants and young children are at highest risk. Several infants have been killed by hail in the past year.<\/p>\n Wind and water flow forces scale as the square of velocity<\/b>, so as flow speeds increase (say due to more intense heating or heavier rain) the damage scales as the square of the velocity. Look at drag physics<\/b> and you will see that force is proportional to density times square of velocity (v^2).<\/p>\n — from The Reign of Violent Rain<\/a> \/ Brouse and Mukherjee (2023)<\/p>\n LYRICS If you open the door And take a step out You might find some more Of what I’m talking about The Reign of Rain Is pounding my head It’ll drive you insane ’till you wish you were dead Chinese water torture That’s for sure The dripping of the rain Is getting to my brain […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,9,14,3878],"tags":[163,3932],"class_list":["post-31742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-chords","category-daniel","category-lyrics","category-rawhide","tag-climate-change","tag-rawhide-away"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31742"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31743,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31742\/revisions\/31743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nMultiple factors figure into the physics of violent rain. The Momentum<\/b> of Rain<\/a> is p = mv (p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.) Part of the increasing momentum is transferred to the sides and upward increasing wind turbulence, as well as updrafts. Most of the momentum is transferred upon impact. You may notice the rain bouncing higher off the streets and sidewalks. As rain becomes more massive, it will have greater momentum when it hits the ground causing more damage.<\/p>\nWhat you can do today. How to save the planet.<\/a><\/h3>\n
