Simile: something is like something else, or something as something else-

I act as an old man would.

* It's raining like a hole in the sky.
-It’s raining like there is a hole in the sky

Although it’s still a little difficult to understand in English why a hole in the sky means you will get wet. However English speakers will probably understand what you mean.

Maybe you can say:

1) It’s raining like crazy. (a phrase)
2) It’s pouring. It’s pouring hard.
3) It’s raining hard. It’s raining so hard.

These three are what I say.

*My pants got wet even though I used my umbrella.

A: Perfect!

A: I'm not completely sure what you are trying to say, but I think maybe you mean this, " I can see only one hole that this seems to be plugged into."
