I'm loving the rain we're getting here in SoCal . Day 4 of straight rain here and some end in sight, but it's just awesome
So Cal probably desperately needs it but it will probably not make too much of a difference as far as bringing lake water levels back up much.
You obviously are not one of the people who was flooded out of their home by that rain. (Supposedly your end of the country had more than half the local year's rain just in the matter of a couple of days.)
