inpour
Sudden heavy inflow
Inpour is a flow or rush inward—the opposite of outpour.
Rain inpours through a broken window; light inpours through parted curtains.
As a noun, an inpour is such a rush: an inpour of refugees, an inpour of capital.
The word is uncommon, with influx and inflowing more often serving this sense.
