Ranger, my land is at the top of a hill. Elevation increases about 10 ft at the front gate and then rises more. The clouds split around it. My lower neighbors get more than I do.
When I met Lusk, many years ago, he asked where my place was. I told him and he said that he had watched those clouds split on TV weather reports for years and finally knew why.
I don’t really understand the phenomenon. I once put a rain gauge at my front gate. The gauges are about 200 yards apart and can vary as much as 30 to 40%.
That's wild. I have noticed something similar on a couple of occasions when I'm driving up/down Ranger Hill on I-20. It's a 300' elevation change and it'll be storming on top of the hill but not once you get to the bottom.
