1. Just got off the phone with a friend

That was driving from Seal Beach to San Pedro. Was raining the entire way. Going from downpour to drizzle.

So glad you guys are getting the rain! Beautiful picture!

2. Thanks, my dear marym625!

We really need it. Even a little will refresh the thirsty lawns and gardens.

4. When has it ever rained in Southern California in July?

Seems it never rains in Southern California.

5. I know, right?

I've never seen it rain here in July.

We'll take it!

It was weird: light rain, lightning and thunder, and inside, the a/c is on! Very humid.

6. Isn't there some hurricane off the Mexico coast down there?

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, so to speak, glad you guys are getting rain.

Hope there was enuff to dampen down some of those fires.

7. Yes, looks like there's a hurricane off the west coast of Baja.

That is driving our storm.

I'm glad we're getting some rain too! It should be mostly gone by tonight. And tomorrow, it's supposed to be around a 30% chance of rain from the afternoon into the evening...

I hope the fires are getting put out.

8. I know it's just a spit into an empty bucket

but I'm so grateful for your rain - was happy to read about it earlier!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. It actually was coming down pretty hard for a while!

The paper will have the totals for today and I'll be checking. It was good!

Mira!
