Don’t know about local rainfall totals, never bother with it. I don’t read let alone buy papers, they’re a joke around here. Rain was coming down hard last night, real stormy. I look at forecasts, have apps on my iPad, but never concerned about what transpired before today. These droughts happen on a cyclic basis, been one about every dozen years as far back as I can recall. In stormy years they’re forgotten. The water crisis is a political fabrication, water fights been going on for 150 years or so in California. The farmers get shafted while L.A. splurges. Water going to the fish would be a non-issue if not for the diversion of water to the south for L.A.
I remember seeing Chinatown several millenia ago...
cycles will come and go..and so will LA...at some point
