10 这是比喻修辞手法吗

1. And before dusk, there were inaccurate reports that an angry America was raining revenge on Kabul. 天暗之前，已有不太准的报道，称愤怒的美国正在对喀布尔采取连续不断的报复行为。

2. For the rest of the country, there was another shock to digest-- a second kamikaze attatck. This time on the Pentagon. 对于美国的其他地方的人们，还有另一次震惊需要承受-- 第二次自杀性袭击，这次是对准五角大楼。

老师，第一句的rain是比喻修辞手法吗？形容像下雨那样接连不断的打击报复？

第二句中digest 只有消化，吸收的意思，这里作“承受”，虽然不是比喻，但让意思更为形象生动？
