It's nice and sunny in Fresno right now and projected to be 75 degrees tomorrow :p
I've enjoyed the rain, although victims of our crappy drainage system sure haven't.

I wouldn't exactly call what's going on here "a wittle bit of wrain." Most places are 150% to 175% of normal right now. And the rainy season isn't close to over. I read this is the wettest winter Northern California has had in over 100 years. We're now getting mudslides, flood warnings, and they are worried about levees breaking in the San Joaquin Valley. Not to mention the snow pack in the Sierras is high and once that starts melting it's going to start adding to the water problems. I can think of maybe two or three days in the past seven weeks that it hasn't rained.

It's just part of the usual cycle: Rain -> Land slides -> brush fires -> repeat. shake things up now and then to keep it interesting.

I think the amount of crazy nutjobs in Hollywood balances out the fact that we don't have many horrible disasters.
