Rain?

Finally looks like you might be out of the drought, at least for a few weeks.  Now all the burn scars are going to be washing down the hills onto roads and plugging creeks, etc.

Good luck!

Engineers  what do they think about. One of the underpasses on 101 freeway is flooded in town. Unless they got a extra cloud burst, about 1o miles east of me so 1/2 the rain I have. No rain report on local radio yet, just the traffic jams. I am guessing trash  or a homeless drug addict  sleeping in the nice dry pipe.

I am very happy as it came so it all soaked in out here. Best start to the growing season since 09. But another 8 or 9 months until we can say how it turns out. But for the city people the drought is not over until the dam's  are full and running over.

From what I saw on the internet, the lakes are filling but I doubt it will have a very big effect on water supplies.  But at least it will green up the grass and make fires less likely until maybe next summer.

 I was there in July, 1968.  In the mornings it was foggy and cold as, well, somewhere I'd rather not be then in the afternoons it was hot as another place I hope to not go to!

  Are all the wild fires out now that you got rain? Don't hear anything about them on the news

I think the stumps are much more of a problem in oak woodlands than in pines and fur trees. As the oaks have tap roots much bigger in size than the confers.
