California's cup literally runneth over.

Here's a picture of Oroville lake now, and back when it was low. Rather dramatic.

    Yes it is amazing.  I was just reading an article yesterday in the LA Times about how Lake Cachuma above Santa Barbara underwent a huge transition:  "It was one of the largest storms in memory over the Santa Ynez Valley on Feb. 17, swamping historical records and causing the lake to rise a whopping 31 feet in depth in just a few days."  Yesterday we got a whopping 2.48" of rain recorded in my city.  I don't know exact numbers here, but would guess about 11.5" is our historic annual average precipitation.  Further south, in Chula Vista/Imperial Beach at my business, the annual average is just over 10" going back the last 100 years.  I don't know what we got yet down there, but our neighbors in San Ysidro are reporting over 3" in the last 48 hours.  Since my business relies on evaporation I am very aware of how unusual this type of rain is.
