Any rain in Chivato, Russ?
We've got a 50% chance over here. You look to be pretty clouded over right now.

Rained here throughout the night and has continued on and off till now. Skys are dark and more rain is for sure on the way. I'm gonna stay inside
today, play Christmas music and drink mass quantities of Noche Buena beer.

Correction from the earlier post of mine: The SKYS HAVE OPENED!!! Pouring in Oceanside right now...
(of course they are still saying we are in a drought and want to start water restrictions and raise water rates... )

Diff'rent SOAKS for diff'rent folks............you northumberlanders are being hit by a different system than the one that came through cent Baja and
"threatens" Sonora.
I'm waiting for someone from Seattle to chime in, ".........yeah, we got rain!"

Barry, I am on an email list of a guy who lives in Canebrake, south of Agua Caliente. He has a Davis unit that's linked to a modem.
He reported only .09 inches as of this AM. Very little in the month before this. Probably the area north of Scissors Crossing got a bit more.
I expect an update within 24 hours.
I'd say you are still praying for rain down there, though.

Yes, David---common sense tells us that one good rain storm cures a 7 year drought. 
Rain storm does not end the drought.

Actually, one GOOD rainstorm CAN cure a long drought if you measure a "drought" by the levels of the man-made reservoirs. That is what we need here
in the northstate------one REALLY GOOD rainstorm (or 4 would be better) to fill up Lake Shasta/Lake Trinity that are now as low as anybody can
remember. That is all it takes---------
Pray (or dance) for rain.

Yes, but definitely not here---our reservoirs are way too low for one good storm to cure it---lots of other reasons go along with it, but hey, it
isn't Baja so it is off topic.
Still off topic, but this article and others I have read here say that Anza Borrego is going to be beautiful with wildflowers.

Thanks, Diane----------good wildflowers in ABDSP means good wildflowers in Baja, too. We are sure hoping. We arrive in the Park in mid March,
staying thru mid-April.
For the well being of the countryside, sustained rains totaling over 10 inches per year over many years is what is needed----on that we can agree.
That is much better for all than occasional gullywashers.

The latest from Canebrake, ABDSP.........
Early yesterday afternoon some more Canebrake rain was measured bringing the storm total to 0.13". Nothing more as of 10 this morning. The season
total, since July 1, is now 3.88".
Here in Newport Beach we had a very hard downpour just before 6am so there is still some moisture around. My total here at home is a little over 2"
for the storm now. Big difference between the OC coast and Canebrake but that is why it's called the desert out there.
