Reply #18: As of now, the sun is shining.

We've had some scattered light showers throughout the day, but the storm is mostly over. It's a matter of getting the roads cleaned up and opened, at this point. We're supposed to be partly cloudy, with a few showers here and there, through today, clearing up at night, and back to normal by tomorrow; clear, sunny, and dry.

I can hardly wait to get out and check all the springs; the little valley in the pics sits directly on top of the fault line. The water table is close to the surface, and there are little hidden springs all over the hills. The drought has been so bad they've mostly dried up. One particular pond, home to fish, ducks, and a great blue heron, has dwindled to a puddle. I hope this oasis at the edge of the Mojave gets what it needs from this storm to recover. That will have to wait until Saturday, since once I'm allowed back on the road, it's back to work for me.
