Rain, rain, come and stay...but not all at once

I was discussing my thoughts about rain with my host mother last night, and she expressed yet another view of the reality of rain. In this area, if it rains too much at once, it can create a mudslide, because there is little vegetation to hold the dirt down. These mudslides can be very dangerous and can destroy houses, even houses of conrete.

Just another example of how differently we can view the world depending on our reality.
