Southern California's first good rainstorm of the year* has arrived. Normally, even in a good rain year, we don't get our first rain until mid-November. On the exceptional year we will get the first real rain at the end of October, but at the start of the month?

Crossing fingers that this means we will have a good rain year, as after several years of drought, we need it.
