It was then that...

When writing sentences like this...

It was then it stopped raining.

Or must it be: It was then that it stopped raining.

Must we add 'that' in such cases? It was then that he understood the meaning. It was then that they came rushing toward the door. And so forth.

It sure sounds wrong to my ears without the "that."
