I'm sure you've heard the expression, it's raining cats and dogs!
But, have you ever wondered where it came from?
It actually originates back to the 1600s.
Back then, drainage was very poor and gutters overflowed with rubbish and unsavory items. It is thought that animals ,such as rodents, lived in the thatched roofs and when it rained heavily, the dead carcasses would fall out of the sky - so coining the phrase it's raining cats and dogs!
