Sure, the West has needed rain for 3 years. Now we get what we need 3x over. As usual, a billion in damages so far and the problem really hasn't gotten to full tilt. That happens if and when we get a warm period.

Not really my point nor news. I never liked rain or wind starting life as a painter. Neither helped with income. Probably why painters and other trades really don't make much money even if wages are sky high. If you don't put some away during the good times. you are broke. Not many skilled workers are skilled money managers.

Not really my point. SoCal averages about 10" of light rain per year. Unfortunately Mother Nature sees that we either get way less or way more if you look at the weather data.

I don't think most people in SoCal have the maintenance up up to par to get through this. I don't, and as a result will spend the summer making repairs.

Last time we had big rain I had $7000 in damages. The rain overcame the ability of the typical SoCal flat roof to drain and some of it fell in.

I'm hating life now; pretty depressed. I won't know the tally until the rain stops.

Who else?
