Did it even rain? Don't be ridiculous! (Unless...)
Okay, okay, so there were some sprinkles. We're not talking Noah's Ark levels of deluge, but there have been pockets of downpours, particularly in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
Here's the juicy gossip: Some areas, like Matilija Canyon and Old Man Mountain, have seen a whopping over 9 inches of rain! That's practically enough to fill a kiddie pool! (Although, let's be honest, most of us would probably use it for a margarita pool instead.)
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.

Hold your horses (or should we say, surfboards?). While some rain is better than none, it's not quite enough to break the drought or send us all scrambling for inflatable rafts. But hey, at least we can finally wash our cars without feeling guilty, right?
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Side note: For those wondering, the average rainy season rainfall for Los Angeles is around 12 inches. So, we've got a ways to go before umbrellas become the new hot fashion accessory.
