I'm a realist and I won't believe it until I see it/experience it. There have been many rain "events" and all they produced was a wet pavement for 30 minutes. It's so dry that when ever I hear a few raindrops I turn the sound off of my TV and I look out my back door and I act like an idiot, jumping up and down, clapping and going "woo hoo!". That is how rare the rain is. The smell of rain is better than a cinnamon bun. When my little dog was alive I would hold her close to me and take her outside for a few minutes so she could experience this rarity.

This new LA fire is moving super fast. Any rain would be a godsend.
