| | | | Indeed.
I've gone during a light drizzle once, and felt somewhat unsafe, because at any moment it could start raining like crazy, filling up the 4 foot RCP I was crouching through. If I was swept away in rain, I'd be simply pushed down a mile of RCP, finally dropping about 15 feet into another RCP, finally out to a outfall.
Never drain when it rains.

Yes, bound to hurt that. It's mostly falls, impact with solid objects and grazes with the floor and sides of a rain that hurt. Most drains will not fill in normal rain, but during storms they will. When the water reaches the top of the drain you just can't breathe. But you'll probably be dead by them anyway due to impacts and inability to stay afloat in a raging storm water flow.
There's so many web based weather services that checking the weather is a breeze.
I've once been sitting on a car during a storm watching the outflow of a major drain some metres away only to see the battered remains of a dumped car be disgorged along with a backlog of tree branches and a huge surge of water. Any of which would make a serious mess of any bodies it would have hit.
At the same time I've also white water rafted in massive big drains which handles the floods okay. I would not recommend the latter without monitoring the outflow of the target drain during a major storm.
