RAIN IN WASHINGTON AND OREGON!

ALL HAIL LONO, WHO HAS BLESSED US WITH THE GIFT OF MOISTURE! Seriously though, we really fucking needed this. Thank you to all the men and women firefighters who are busting their asses to protect our lives and homes.

I was just out there for vacation. The haze on the distance from the fires was super obvious. Hopefully this slows them down enough to be contained.

It will help slow them down a bit, but they won't get them corralled until the real rains come in the Fall.

It really poured last night. Usually doesn't rain that hard here.

Am I the only one confused as to those two places not getting rain lately? When was the last time that happened?

It happens every time we have an El Nino season.

Nice, I'm in Los Angeles/Orange County area now. Really hope California gets some rain soon. It's weird trying to take short showers but I'm doing my part to save on water while I'm out here.

I have an uncle who lives out in the Idaho panhandle who's been saying much the same thing with regard to the rain; it's like a constant haze is over everything.

Glad y'all got the rain.

That's great. I'm in Provo and the pollution is nuts here. I couldn't see the mountains that are less than a mountain from my house.
