Chilly, raining hard in San Diego ... photo updated...odd timing
Get ready for a wet, cold one...hope it will help in Baja as well- and here's the view from my patio this morning.
.... the skies opened and the rains fell hardest about the same time this happened...

How can it be... we are in the worst drought of the century!! ?? LOL
It started here (north SD county) at midnight, came down so hard it woke me about 2-3 am... and is still raining with some heavy stuff, as of 8:30am.
(Oh, and it 'never' rains in May in Southern California)!
Nature bats last!

One rain and there is no drought. Brilliant.

Yesterday before the storm, the snow pack on Mt. Whitney as seem from Whitney Portal
But now that it snowed last night, all should be well and all the reservoirs will be overflowing. No more drought. No need for the state to continue
with water restrictions.

You implied it in your first post, or are You now saying that there is a drought?
You need to run for office...you do the "what I said" part very well. You could be on Faux news.

And there was some water in the creek before the storm, so I am sure there is now a torrent headed toward Los Angeles after this storm!
Really happy for the storm and hope they keep coming. Previous droughts in California were not as serious partly because there were not close to 40
million people in the state using water.

Get the Government involved? In rain?I was going to comment that was one of the more stupid things DK has said...But in thinking about it, everything
he says is pretty much in that category...I think the Government makes him do it...He badly needs help....Maybe Motoged could suggest someone...????

Thanks Ken. One I used the bridge rail, but the other two I managed to hold real still and didn't breath. I love that lens 
Bring on more rain and snow! Can't see the mountains right now, and that is a good thing!

Not sure how you can possibly mis-read what I typed? My comment was that the people I was responding to are the ones who are lovers of BIG government,
and that THEY must be in favor of controls, taxes, less freedom. They sure don't seem to trust God or Nature or know how to live withing the limits
that are visible and naturally made? They claim man is greater than God/Nature, that man can change the climate's direction by becoming poorer
(taxed)???!!! They also claim the sea levels are dangerously rising, yet in the past 50 years, we all can still go to the same places at high tide and
have dry feet! This is the 'Chicken Little' drama, except instead of the sky falling, it is the oceans are rising.
Can anyone accept that change in Nature is normal and natural... man is not greater than the natural forces. To give government or politicians that
much power over a made-up fear is just surrendering your freedom (and intelligence).

Chuckie,
Thanks for trusting my professional opinion....but sometimes you just need to accept some things:

In other words, you are name calling....take it to off topic please.
