It's raining in the San Francisco Bay Area!

This could be a major event. It's raining in the San Francisco Bay Area. It had not rained in months until last night. Hopefully this will suppress the on-going wildfires and clear the air a bit. The rain is still coming down, albeit lightly. I am going to turn my music off and enjoy the sound of the rain. We had a power outage this morning, but things are back to normal now. I hope it does not flood in Paradise CA.

I hope the rain will help. Too bad it could not have come sooner. But it is there just the same. I love the sound of rain on the roof.

I am enjoying it. I played some guitar and then fell asleep!

I love the rain as well since it helps the grass get some needed water.

Sounds like a good thing if it can help in putting out the fires. Enjoy!

@TheHorse I love the rain! Do you have a favorite rain song? This is my all time favorite or the only one that I can remember with my poor memory.

I was chuckling and evil chuckle today, wondering of there would be a massive earthquake.

Lucky you! We will get some showers tonight supposedly - and maybe tomorrow . . . but we shall see. But it won't be good for those fire areas - here we go with the land/mudslides now - why of all times does it decide to rain now? Oh, so sad in Paradise.

@playertwo There is either too much rain in some places or not enough (like ours!).

@TheHorse We did get that rain (I missed it - it happened overnight) - and luckily it was light (our yard dirt was not muddy - still compact). Just enough for now - yah, the fire areas have had enough - hope the rains will come this way slow and steady the rest of the season!

I hope it's just enough to put out the remaining fires and nourish the soil. It has NOT been a hard rain. More slow and steady.

@Nevena83 This is really welcome here. We're just hoping there are no floods in the areas ravaged by wildfires.

@TheHorse No, we do not need rain. Two days ago there was snow, so the earth is already wet.

We've had about three days of rain so far. Slow and steady, which I think is good.

I hope this rain will help to clean the air and stop the fires. It's raining here too, an icy rain very unpleasant.

Thanks. It was pretty much steady for about 30 hours. Not heavy, but steady. That might be ideal.

It lasted about 30 hours, but I don't think it was heavy enough to cause major mudslides.

Yes, it can be nice to listen to a gentle rain when you're sheltered from it. Too bad it didn't come sooner and spare Holly's home.

Our news said you were supposed to get rain, glad that you are finally. I know they did say they are worried about mud slides with that in some areas that were burned. Hoping that doesnt happen.
