This is incredible... almost scary. I'm sure most of you heard or have seen the video of what happened on Kauai recently. But this photo and video really puts it in perspective for me personally.

This is Wailua Falls as I shot it in June 2005 (from ground and air):




This is Wailua Falls currently because of the rain:

That almost looks like the Niagara falls now minus the casinos.

All that rain is adding up...

Wailua Falls I honestly didn't think had that many feeds into it. That's why I wonder about Opaeka'a Falls, bc it runs alongside Wailua River, which is what drains out of Wai'ale'ale... and if you saw the pic of Wai'ale'ale I posted the other day, nuff said. Wia'ale'ale could possibly reach a record breaking number this year. Currently the record is 683 inches there in 1982.

Wai'ale'ale remains, on average, the wettest spot on earth.
