In fact, both towns get so much rain that they have to build living root bridges—literal bridges made of tree roots guided over rivers by local tribes. These bridges grow stronger over decades, unlike your patience after a week of rain. If your town needs a tree root bridge just to cross the street, you know you’re in a wet place.
