@jakedduck1 California is technically a desert. Not sure what the prediction is today, but at this point, any rain bears multi-sided blessings. Rain is desperately needed due to drought conditions that have existed for many years. Meanwhile, there are burn scars from recent fires. Rain falling on those areas create mudslides and debris flow which can bring more property destruction and closed roads. Up in the hills we have snow. Great for the ski areas, not so great for Interstate 5 that was closed for part of yesterday. Silly drivers on the road at any day or time but give them less than perfect conditions and watch out! The rain in Death Valley may or may not create Super Bloom of wildflowers this spring.
