For many years, English versions and Christians have commonly referred to Matthew 5–7 as “The Sermon on the Mount.” In some translations, it may be helpful to include a heading for chapters 5–7 that is on a level above the section heading for 5:1–12.
Here are some other possible headings for this section:
The Sermon on the Mountain
The sermon that Jesus preached on a mountain
Jesus taught people on the side of a mountain/hill
The rain fell, the torrents raged,
The rain came, the rivers/streams flooded,
It rained very hard and caused the river to overflow its banks.
and the winds blew and beat against that house,
and winds also came and beat against that house,
Some strong/big wind also blew hard on/against that house.
The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house: In Greek these clauses are identical to 7:25a–b. You should translate them in the same way.
and it fell—and great was its collapse!”
and it fell down/over and was completely destroyed.”
And it collapsed. The entire house was completely destroyed!”
and it fell—and great was its collapse!: These clauses indicate that the whole house fell down. It was completely destroyed.
Here are some other ways to translate these words:
it fell down and was completely destroyed
and it collapsed; it was utterly destroyed! (NET)
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
προσέκοψαν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἐκείνῃ
˱they˲_struck ¬the ˱against˲_house that
Express the idea as you did in 7:25. Alternate translation: [stressed that house] or [strained the house]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἦν ἡ πτῶσις αὐτῆς μεγάλη
was the fall ˱of˲_it great
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of destruction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [it was totally destroyed]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
