And how long has CA been experiencing a drought?
The drought is pretty much done for now. As predicted by Joe Bastardi back in September, we’re in “mini El Nino” year, which means lots of rain. I think we’ve had some amount of rain almost every day for the last month here in Sacramento.

On 6/21/2011 there was no part of CA in drought. So about 3.5 years.
