NARRATOR: The last stop on Kauai is one of the wettest environments in the world, Mount Waialeale.
Average rainfall here, 440 inches a year.
So much water flows through the mountain that waterfalls abound.
This 280-foot falls was famously used in the film "Jurassic Park." It appears when a helicopter carrying scientists first lands on the island.
Locals now just simply call it, Jurassic Falls.
It was during the making of that film that a fierce hurricane slammed into the island.
Production halted as the storm unleashed its fury.
The cast and crew huddled in safety.
But according to one report, director Steven Spielberg couldn't resist the opportunity to capture some of the real storm for the one portrayed in the film.
It's said that Spielberg took a camera operator with him up on a roof, where they filmed the wind-driven waves crashing over a breakwater.
