Between Friday and Saturday it went from about 85 down to a high of 64 yesterday and you could see the rain clouds coming in. By yesterday when it got dark it started to rain and rain hard into the night. It's still wet out and might be drizzling but the harder rain has stopped now. I looked at the rain on the radar online and it isn't very visible at all except places like Eureka and sporadically a few other places. But, when I woke up and looked out my veranda where I'm staying in Mt. Shasta I could smell what smelled like wet wood or wet smoke which likely was the smell from the fires being dampened down or being put out in Northern California and further north in Southern Oregon as well. Most fires even before this were 80% under control. The rain might make them 90% or 100% under control soon. So, this storm likely will end the fire season in Southern Oregon and NOrthern California hopefully for now. But, Southern California now has a 12 months a year fire season. There is no time of year when you don't expect fires in southern California now because of how long the drought has been going on (maybe 20 years now).
This is why you can have things like what happened in Montecito next to Santa Barbara where 25 people died when the rains came right after a fire and created new flood plains so they won't let people rebuild there because they know mud and rocks will come again year after year. 75% of the mud and rocks is still going to come down year after year because of what happened last year.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
