1 downpour: A "downpour" is heavy rain which falls all at once. The word is composed of "down", the direction from which the rain falls, and "pour", a term which describes flowing liquid: "Please could you pour me some wine? My glass is empty".
2 flooding: A flood is an inundation of land which is normally dry. As a verb, "to flood" describes the act of inundation. "To flood" can also be used figuratively to describe a heavy concentration or outpouring of something. Example: We've been flooded with phone calls since our commercial was televised yesterday.
