1. It just hit my area abour15 minutes ago.

Or at least that's when it woke me up. Its coming down hard. I mean really hard.

2. Hopefully just the start...

3. Raining now in San Diego

Love it!!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

4. Just wondering

Would it be too much to ask if the entire state gets blanketed and ALL the fires put out?

5. Nothing up in Nor Cal ?

13. Yeah we had it but it was more like light sprinkles on and off for a few hours.

6. Does this mean we can now expect

flash floods and mud slides to be in the news - poor, suffering California.

[world wide wally]

8. In a word. Yes

Because of the burn scars from all the fires, there won't be as much vegetation to absorb significant amounts of rain. This results in more runoff and mudslides. You might look funny building an ark at he moment, but it won't hurt to prepare if you are in a vulnerable area. (just kidding about the ark part, but you can expect some new headaches)

7. Northern CA

10. "I hear the drizzle of the rain...."

"Like a memory, it falls. Soft and warm, continuing...tapping on my roof and walls." - Paul Simon, "Kathy's Song"


Sweet!

-g, in the High (Mojave) Desert

[PasadenaTrudy]

11. I didn't wake up until 10

Sun is out, but I can see that it rained. Now it's Thailand humid, but I'm so glad it rained!

12. "Thailand humid"

Indeed, Trudy... EVERYTHING I touch is, well, sticky. Not used to that in the High Desert, but you are correct - I, too, am glad it rained.

(The backyard bunnies came out to get their fill and licked the grass for 2 hrs. I think they are happy it rained too.)
