riosm,
The streets will return to "normal" soon after the rain subsides. The coast-lines won't.

I've heard of "raining cats and dogs", but not "ant thunderstorms".

Downpours and thunderstorms are normal for this region. Inappropriate land-use and substandard building practices are also. The combination is disastrous.
