    • I was surprised quite often how Amazon carries so much water but the area does not seem to be in rainiest places in the world. It would be interesting to check these numbers.

    • Wow , Imagine if that much rain had taken place in TN / Chennai .

      Roads would be washed away, everything will get submerged…
      We would see only lakes , ponds everywhere…..
      Terrific to visualise…..

      Nice bit of Information.

      Thanks Dataman PJ….
