Peace be upon you.
Do you have enough dams in the country to save this rain water?

Nope, but this much in one go compared to the average amount we get is nothing that needs dams. The surrounding area has much desert spots in it and drainage in urban areas take the rain to them.

I've lived in a few different places in the U.S. where the weather is different enough to cause driving issues if it varies. That is, in Florida it is normal to have complete downpours almost on a daily basis, for months at a time really, and traffic carries on like normal. Hard downpour and traffic is still moving 75mph (120kph), no problems. In southern California it doesn't rain that often at all, so when it does it is a game changer. Light to medium rainshower and traffic on highways can slow to about 25-30mph (40-48kph). People just don't know how to drive in it well.
In TN they get the lightest of snow flurries, the kind that melt upon contact, and they freak out immediately and you hear talk of cancelling school. In Iowa, we get a big snowstorm and the question becomes "you think there will be a two hour delay for school?", you know, to give extra time to dig out your vehicle.

Here we've had ice storms and still had school. I remember one time we had snow and sleet all night long and the temp kept dropping and they delayed school for two hours. Things was, the roads were actually better at 8am than they were at 10am because since the temps kept dropping it just iced over more and more. So the two hour delay actually made things worse. They are more cautious now than they used to be here when it comes to cancelling school. They do it more often than when I was a kid. I swear, when I was in school, they wouldn't cancel unless a bus couldn't make it. If a bus got stuck or went off the road then they would cancel school. It seemed just assumed that if the buses could make it through, so could everyone.Here we cancel schools sometimes if we see dark clouds

No, it's just frustrating as a parent, not quite understanding their criteria now. There are times when school is cancelled or delayed where we are looking outside and at the weather reports and wondering "why" as there isn't anything really bad out, and then there are times where we are hit with a ridiculous storm or ice and school is on like normal and, again, we are left wondering "why". Makes no sense many times. Whereas, yes, we have more cancellations than we use to, the weather overall isn't as bad as it use to be most of the time and the cancellations often don't make sense when compared to days where it is honestly just hard to get out of the driveway (especially when your drive is off an alley and the street plows pile up snow at the end of the alley and you can't get through it without getting out and shoveling the alley itself

Now that's a half "better safe than sorry" view
You guys cancel school for weather changes? We just give kids proper clothing and set them off to school. When I was in school had -35 Celsius on a schoolday and we just put on warm clothes. No talk of it being cancelled. That would have been unprecedented.
It's our infrastructure. Corruption in the construction bidding system and municipalities made pleasant long showers become natural disasters. If the rain in my video hits a city, underpasses and streets would drown and traffic gets an almost complete jam.
