Local/Regional Nicknames for Down Pours

[jlgurr]

Just curious if you have used or heard funny expressions for a down pour in your area? For example we get torrential rain here and some folks call it a

Toad Strangler or a Gully Washer. Where I grew up the most common expression was simply "Cats and Dogs"
