I agree but the rain we have had the past few days is a drop in the bucket. We need about 2 feet of rain and fast just to get back close to normal levels. That of course would cause flooding and all kinds of other messes.

Better than no rain. The past few days have been record setting. Who knows, maybe we will get a couple feet of rain over the coming months..

Exactly. This is about all I'm hearing: "It's just a drop in the bucket." "It has no impact on the drought." "We still need a lot more." Ugh! Why don't people look at the rain we do get in a more positive way? Every little bit helps. My area got 1.5" over the weekend. Considering that our average annual rainfall is only 13", that's more than just a drop in a bucket.

And, my yard got a good soaking which will last at least a week, and I saved enough water in buckets to give the plants at least one more good soaking later. Got to be happy about that!

Don't worry, El Nino is coming. Before that comes, they say there will be more rain in late August and early September. Rainy season begins in October.

I'm getting the house ready for El Nino now--rain gutters, more rain barrels, painting house. Good thing the holey roof is replaced. Pest-proofing the garage so rodents can't find shelter...

Wow, can't wait for the real downpour, but it's going to be awful if we're not ready for it.

Good planing. If it comes, you can take advantage of it. If it doesn't, well ..... you are no worse off for the effort. While I suspect it ain't gonna be a big help, I hope that it will be.
