Could the West coast drought be over?

Torrential rains and high winds pummeled the west coast from Oregon to central California dumping record rainfall in an 'atmospheric river' causing flooding and massive problems. Sonoma and Santa Rosa counties had more than 7 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. Mt. Veeder had a whopping 10 inches of rain in 24 hours - most in #NapaValley according to the official tally. Record rainfall after record drought. Climate change is definitely here. The “bomb cyclone” is a rare meteorological event. 

I wonder what effect it will have on the vineyards. At least they had already harvested the grapes. 

One good thing, the #DixieFire has been declared 100% contained @ 963,309 acres.


Yosemite Falls roared back to life. 

But the drought ain't over yet.
