Almost A Half Inch

My rain gauge shows just a hair under a half inch of rain as I type this. We should easily get a half inch, although looking at doppler radar it's hard to say if we'll get much more. This is good, and this is the good kind of rain that soaks into the ground, rather than coming down all at once and running off into the gutters. 

Let's hope it continues, but we're still better off than many other places. The San Jose Mercury News reports 17 communities in the state could run out of water in a few months.
