Not enough to fill reservoirs or anything, but enough to not actively worry about a blazing fire taking out a town or two for the next few weeks.

It's actually been going since at least dawn. Fairly healthy amount for June. Which is good, because we haven't really been watering anything. It's like, "Oh good, the backyard will stop being that interesting khaki color."

I'll take it.
