The meaning of "it never rains but it pours" is when things go wrong, they go very wrong........According to this meaning your sentence does not support idiom...

to strike one's colors or flags
To surrender; to no longer to support or defend a course of action.
Usage: Anastasie was aware of defeat; she struck her colors instantly. (R. L. STEVENSON.) The flush of victory, the intoxication of success, had passed over to another: and it was he who had to strike his flag and own himself defeated. (MRS. E. LYNN LINTON.) She was forced to strike her colors after I had defeated her in a friendly argument. |
