The rainfall is is due to a system coming from the northwest, moving south as described.

The ocean swell is coming from the south, generated by a hurricane in Baja.

The rainy weather is not connected to these ocean swells.

You know you live in Northern California when the possibility of light rain makes the headlines.

The biggest problem with summer rain is that all the accumulated oil on the roads seeps out and makes the streets slippery. Idiot drivers do not slow down or leave enough space between themselves and the car in front, causing 10 times more collisions than usual.

Streets are wet outside my house this morning. News reports say lots of car crashes this morning. I'm not calling them accidents because they are probably mostly caused by too fast or too close driving. Typical California drivers when streets are wet.

It is so third world to see power lines around Silicon Valley and so much more so that a little rain cuts power.

When is this area going to underground the power lines. It is not only cheaper for the utilities in the long run to not have to keep repairing them, but do they add in the cost to customers who are unable to run a business when the power goes out?
