Reminds me of hurricane Irene in Vermont. They got less rain but some areas got 7" in a short timespan and b/c of the mountains and narrow valleys it decimated some towns. I went to help cleanup and in one place a tiny 50' wide river rose probably 20' and was over 1/4 mile wide covering the entire valley floor. It was really sobering to see the power and damage that can be caused so quickly. It also really illustrated how bad severe rain in mountainous terrain can be
