[Intro]
To try to restrain
The rain
Is becoming (more and more)
Insane<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
Better hold on to your britches
The unwoven and frayed stitches<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
Can’t you see
The debris
Flying at me
(cause of your destiny)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
To try to restrain
The rain
Is becoming (more and more)
Insane<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
Better gather your belongings
Won’t be long till you’ll be longing<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
Can’t you see
The debris
Flying at me
(cause of your destiny)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
To try to restrain
The rain
Is becoming (more and more)
Insane<\/p>\n

To try to retain
(The rain)<\/p>\n

To try to detain
(The rain)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
Is becoming (more and more)
Insane<\/p>\n

A SCIENCE NOTE:<\/p>\n

Violent Rain<\/strong>
What turns these severe weather events into \u2018violent rain events\u2019 is the application of the drag equation and flow dynamics.<\/p>\n

Mass and velocity are just part of the equation; density also plays a key role. The combination of these variables increases the intensity of flow forces. Wind and water forces scale with the square of velocity, meaning that as flow speeds increase \u2014 due to more intense heating or heavier rainfall \u2014 the damage scales accordingly. According to drag physics, force is proportional to density times the square of velocity.<\/p>\n

For example, a 20-mile-an-hour wind exerts four times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind, while a 40-mile-an-hour wind exerts 16 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind. At 50 miles an hour, the force is 25 times greater, and at 60 miles an hour, it’s 36 times greater than at 10 miles an hour. Now, add the density factor: water is about 800 times denser than air, so a 10-mile-an-hour water flow exerts 800 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind.<\/p>\n

As flow velocities increase due to climate change, the forces \u2014 and thus the damage \u2014 scale with the square of the velocities. While we may not know precisely how much velocities will rise with climate change, we’re already seeing the effects: overwhelmed flood and sewage systems, collapsing hillsides, and more.<\/p>\n
