quote:In regions with real tropical rains, (not the subtropical rains we have in Hawaii), the rainfall is much more intense than anything I've ever experienced here over the last 20+ years. I doubt the remote south Pacific islands have many stealth planes or plasma beam weapons to speak of, just high temperatures, lots of moisture, and the capacity for the air and clouds to hold buckets of rain.

One more thing about the rain is that some times it is coming down so hard (velocity) that you could picture a giant fire hose pointed directly at your roof - it's that hard.
