Recent geological studies suggest that an avalanche of sand released by a brief but heavy rainfall buried the foes alive.

Uncontrollable floods likely to cause considerable damage commonly result from excessive rainfall over brief periods of time, as, for example, the floods of Paris (1658 and 1910), of Warsaw (1861 and 1964), of Frankfurt am Main (1854 and 1930), and of Rome (1530 and 1557).
Similar environmental effects have been witnessed in areas after periods of brief but intense heavy rainfall, which forces raw sewage directly into receiving rivers (Even et al. 2004); this phenomenon is particular to areas employing combined sewage overflows, as is the case in much of the United Kingdom.
Rainy days are not uncommon, but the summer rainfall often comes in brief, heavy downpours and thunderstorms.
