When it rains in Indiana dark clouds gather and threaten the
pedestrian. It begins with a light two-minute warming of rain sprinkling the
sidewalks and pavement. Then it cuts loose! Rain pours from above soaking the
buildings and vegetation. As storm drains backs up street flood. The next day
everyone in Indiana is talking about the bad weather. But it doesn’t rain like
that in Tennessee.
Rain in the mountains is noisy and I never actually got wet.
The rain would hit the canopy with a glorious drumming. The heaviest of this
dripped down leaf to leaf until the shattered particles sprinkled lightly on
the ground. Smaller rain drops took even longer to reach the forest floor or
sidewalk. So although it sounded like it was raining; it really wasn’t. One
major problem with this delay effect from canopy was that I got dripped on long
after it actually stopped raining.
So in Tennessee you can get wet when it isn’t raining and
stay dry when it is.
