Do you also feel like celebrating when our rainy season arrives and all the dustladen foliage and such gets a good wash?
I love it, and also rejoice for a good kickoff because of concern re. getting enough rain in a season to keep drought at bay.
It is also on my mind that hopefully this ample first rainfall might douse all the wild fires ...
Anyone else?

Even though we are in a drought area during 4-5 months of the summer and our islands are in a rain shadow we still ge ample rainfall. This summer was a bit wetter than normal and the state had a record fruit crop. The big problem here is snowfall. It has become less and less so the storage from snowpack has been dropping.

@dede18 Yes and also supplies the water to power the dams. There are a lot in this state and the Columbia river is the most powerful (dams) river in the country. Almost all of our power in the archipelago is hydro-power.
@dede18 Sort of, more and more are being discovered about the true cost of hydropower. The loss of salmon and Orca Whales is one big price.

Posted by TO_BYI'm remembering Sam for Memorial Day. He died over this last year. A memorable street-performance artist up here. He originally hailed from Tonga. Big spirited. Loved America.
