Wish we could get some of it in Southern Baja. Lots of plants/ trees are dying and rancheros are in serious troubles here. One day of rain in about 18 months now.

Good grief, I had heard lack of rain was a problem but I did not realize it was so severe. Has much rain/snow fell in Parque San Martir?

Just have to wait it out. An El Nino is supposed to be setting up. :)

Haven't heard the term "Gully Washer" in a long time! We need the rain.

The rain started in San Diego about 8 p.m. on Wednesday night and still coming down at 4:00 a.m. Thursday.

Northbound from Coyote Bay sometime this morning...for San Diego. Looks like we are gonna get wet on the Pacific side.

Oh, well...be nice to smell fresh rain and roadside blooms. :yes:

Would rather pass on any flooded vados! :rolleyes:

Got less than a quarter inch in HB, most the rain looks to have headed south....

Did get some pretty wild looking clouds though:

Not a drip yet. Just weird overcast, off and on in TS so far.
