A Few Local Records

Very rainy in Sacramento, the last couple of days. Even rainier than similar storms of Dec. '14. Probably have to go back to that windy and rainy storm in January, 2008 to find an equivalent.

Rainfall for the season so far in Sacramento is 196% of average - nearly double! Northern California drought can't take much more of this abuse.

We have a few local Record Daily Rainfalls:
