Or downstream from a NC deregulated pigshit lagoon, downhill from coal ash dumpsite, or anywhere around an industrial waste site as in Harvey/Houston.If you ain't dumb enough to build and/or live in a floodplain this is great weather

Floods are not clean.
It's a gas, to begin with - that's how it got mixed up with the other gasses that we call "air".Why does it not fall down in one lump?
Why is it, sort of, 1 drop at a time? Is it made, sort of, 1 drop at a time?
Been watching news reports about hurricane Florence
Got to thinking about the tons of water in the sky

I can wear the wind can keep some drops airborne but if I was able to take say a Olympic size swimming pool block of water up and release it would it fall as a block?

one drop at a time - condensing on dust motes and large molecules or sticking to the microsurfaces of growing drops or crystals, the growing bodies colliding and merging until they become too heavy for the motion of the air to support
If you freeze it that could work.

Thermodynamics. Water condensing takes energy. The hurricane can't supply it all at once.Why does it not fall down in one lump?
Initially, yes. The air would immediately shred it to bits as it fell. If it was very humid, then it would hit as very hard rain depending where you dropped it from. (The higher you were the more it would spread out.) If it was dry much of it would evaporate before it hit.I can wear the wind can keep some drops airborne but if I was able to take say a Olympic size swimming pool block of water up and release it would it fall as a block?
Water condensing releases energy.Water condensing takes energy
...and due to ocean heating... that amount is growing every minute...due to increasing rates of evaporation...I think someone suggested a current figure of 7% increase annually...(subscribed)The atmosphere contains about 37.5 million billion gallons of water,
at 8.34 pounds per gallon, that's roughly 312.75 million billion pounds of water
suspended over your head.
Damocles comes to mind.
