"Record-Breaking Storm Douses Drought-Stricken California"
🙏🙏🙏

"Despite the problems, the rain and mountain snow were welcome in Northern California, which is so dry that nearly all of it is classified as either experiencing extreme or exceptional drought. The wet weather also greatly reduces the chances of additional wildfires in a region that has borne the brunt of another devastating year of blazes in the state.

When the storm arrived during the weekend, people joyfully dusted off rain boots and jackets and children stomped in puddles. Social media filled with pictures that showed windshields splattered with droplets of water and single-word posts: RAIN!!! ...

'It’s been a memorable past 24 hours for the Bay Area as the long talked-about atmospheric river rolled through the region ... We literally have gone from fire/drought conditions to flooding in one storm cycle.'"
