I've never lived anywhere else but Southern California but I've been told that no where else does weather make the top story on the evening news like my hometown. It doesn't matter whether it's raining, about to rain, windy, hot or cold it all makes news in Southern California.

Starting early this week the coming rainstorm has been reported on by the local media. I usually think it's a much a do about nothing but in this case I can say the media attention is warranted because our weather has been downright wacky. We started out in the high 70s on Monday to only end the week in the 50s with showers.

Unfortunately, many have a right to be concerned due to the fact that the recent fires may lead to flooding in burned out areas. With that said, I hope everyone stays dry and safe while taking the time to enjoy the rain because due to the drought we don’t know when it will be back.
