1. Care to explain what OC California is?

For those who might not know local abbreviations?

But I lived in Ontario for ten years, east of Los Angeles. And I still don't know what OC is.

It felt great, but everything was dry within a couple of hours.

Oh, how we love rain in Southern California.

Here in New York we've had so much rain that we're repeatedly having flood warnings, wish we could send all this excess moisture to you...

The grass is more sun burned than the average tourist. We now have heavy fines and serious water restrictions

It's that bad. We really need some rain. Those fires are ongoing.
Thanks - we're usually safe because we prepare for the worst.

best weather in Omaha. I can count on one hand how many days I had to put the AC because of the heat. Plus it has been raining quite a bit more than normal. If thing continues at this rate, we can spare a few inches of rain to give to CA

14. Rained during Comic-Con yesterday.

Maybe ten minutes of rain with big, fat, aggressive drops, then gone. Several thousand of us nerds standing around with WTF looks on our faces.

And it drizzled a bit here in Riverside (inland desert area) this morning. This will only serve to make the day hot and muggy, of course.
