We are used to that type of rain, the sudden flash flood warning type rain. We don’t get as much as the Tuscaloosa area but Dallas does get that sudden flash flood rain. I prefer a raincoat vs an umbrella so that my hands are free and my body can stay dry. Trying to go in or out of a building that does not have a large cover out front or in/out of the car one can get soaked to the bone just messing with the umbrella to get it open/closed. With the raincoat, it is on you and before going out the door all you need to do is pop the hood up over your head.

Think of those kiddie areas in the waterparks where the bucket gathers water till full then tilts to empty it out on the kids below. Add in some wind on occassion. Picture that just popping up suddenly and maybe going on anywhere from 10 minutes - a few hours. Umbrella just does not work in those instances.
