It's raining....a lot

It's been raining since about 2 this afternoon, but it didn't start really coming down until after the day light faded into a winter's night.

As I sit writing this, I can hear it coming down like some one's left the faucet running. This is suppose to be 1 of 3 major low fronts to pass through the area this weekend, were it could dump 3 to 5 inches of rain and over 10 feet of snow in the moutains.

This could be the most significant storm to hit the southern California since January of 2005. It certainly going to make up for last years lack of rain fall. Sort of.

Still, the warnings are out about possible landslides, especially over in Orange County, where in October and November, wild fires destroyed a lot of land (and homes).

So, while the rain is needed, this punch of wet weather could also be more of problem.

Arrggg.
