It can seriously rain in those hills. In the winter of 1980/81 a weather station on Gasquet Mountain recorded 262 " inches of rainfall in five months.

dpentoney,
Been at the Smith when it has gone up from under 10' to parking lot overnite. Impressive, to say the least.
Check out this from Wikipedia -
Cherrapunji (/tʃɛrəˈpʌndʒi, tʃɛrəˈpʊndʒi/, About this sound second pronunciation (help·info); currently the historical name Sohra is more commonly used; alternative spellings are Cherrapunjee and Charrapunji), is a subdivisional town in the East Khasi Hills district in the Indian state of Meghalaya. It is credited as being the second wettest place on Earth. However, nearby Mawsynram currently holds that record. Though, it still holds the world record for the most rainfall in a calendar month and in a year. It received 9,300 mm (366 in) in July 1861 and 26,461 mm (1,041.75 in) between 1 August 1860 and 31 July 1861.[1]
Remember seeing a picture in a Time-Life book of that area.
Best,
Larry S

Frank,
My only computer talent is "cut and paste." I can screw that up, as well.
