Raining HARD in California ...

It's hard for me to believe or even conceive of, but some SoCal folk seem blissfully aware that CA's northern border isn't the Tehachapi Mountains! And, seemingly, learning that ~3/4 of CA is north of the Tehachapis would shatter their world!
Does kpete's brain and awareness ever wander far outside the gates of her little piece of San Diego?
FWIW, I looked at our back deck and it is dry.
