Finally here in Wilmington we're getting rain!
. I'm still trying to understand how we can be under a flood warning and still be in a drought situation?

I'm glad to hear you have rain. We often have flood advisories during drought situations because the ground can't absorb all of the rain that is falling so it just starts running downstream.

You can send all your extra to California!
It looks like we will not be getting our traditional Halloween blizzard here in the Sierra (the traditional time of year for the first big blizzard, just like the one that caught the Donner Party). In Nevada, it's the Nevada Day storm, so both states will be missing out

I know how it was this summer going a good 6 weeks without rain.
My sis lives in central VA and she said no rain for 6 weeks this fall.
Hoping for lots of rain (slow and steady soakers though!!)

I am glad to hear you got the rain you needed, I wish I could figure out how to send you some of ours, it was the wetest summer and fall I can ever remember
