I, for one, welcome this strange liquid that has taken over the bay area.  Rain they call it?  I've never seen it here before...

Big storm here in California. Lots of rain and falling temps.

Good for our water levels.

...you are right there Alex!.... ;)...!

Many of the Cal reservoirs have been getting lower and lower, year on year.
Silicon Valley and Central Valley are consuming more water than is being replenished by Rain, and the reservoirs are running dry!

Paul...my Float Planes were landing on dried mud!... :o...!

I can understand rain in northern cal... but in socal its a different story!

Heard Leno make a joke saying that there were some sprinkles that came down, and then their power went out!

Here in Florida, I think we have gotten more rain in the last 2 days than I had ever seen in a year living in San Diego! lol

Just a good old English summer day......

Cal is certainly a State of extremes*!... ...!

A few weeks ago large areas were devastated by out-of-control Wildfires, from 'Frisco to L.A....

Earthquakes and Tsunami's coming up. Folks!... ...!

Watch this space!... ...!

We get a fair amount of rain in the bay area during the winter months, it's just been so long since I have witnessed moisture fall from the sky   

This was definitely a good storm though, blew a tractor trailor over on it's side, over 3,000 traffic accidents yesterday (typical California reaction to a change in weather...I would kill to witness a snowstorm here, they just don't know how to drive in any weather other than sunshine LOL) and there were areas with wind gusts over 90mph.

Sun is out again though, and we are still in drought conditions.  *Sigh*  See you in a few more months rain.

Oh come on! We get 3 feet of snow over night, 70mph wind, frozen pipes and power out and no one cares...

Well California doesnt get these types of storms. Your the one who lives over there so thats normal . One day when it gets like 105-110 in Buffalo then that will be CNN worthy and ill be saying the opposite as what you are
