How to use "Cloudburst" in context?

Most people are familiar with thunderstorms, those intense rain and thunder strikes that often damage property and can strand motorists in their cars. Less known is the phenomenon called a cloudburst, which is a thunderstorm in which rain falls in droplets rather than raindrops. Cloudbursts are more common in the Western United States, but they also occur in parts of the Eastern U.S. and in Canada. In most cases, though, cloudburst rains are less intense than thunderstorm rains.
