The " torrential" rain was very impactful!

Did I use the word " Torrential" properly?

No, the word "torrential" is not used properly in your sentence. "Torrential" means heavy or intense, typically used to describe rainfall. In your sentence, it seems contradictory to describe the impact of rain as "torrential." You could say something like "The torrential rain caused severe flooding," indicating that the intensity of the rain had a significant impact.

Yes impactful on the house 😂

Apologies for the confusion. In your sentence, the word "torrential" is used appropriately to convey that the rain had a significant impact on the house. It implies that the rain was heavy and caused notable damage or disruption to the property. Well done!
