Equivalents:	1. It's tipping it down

Explanation:	in the filthy streets of 17th/18th century England, heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals and other debris. The animals didn't fall from the sky, but the sight of dead cats and dogs floating by in storms may well have lead to this phrase
