I lived in Southern California for 20 years and when I lived there I considered there to be two seasons "Summer," which lasted for about 11 months, and "Rain," which covered the other month.
I lived there for over 50 years. Born and raised there. They try to tell us it never rains in California, but that it Pours. It just isn't spread out the way it needs to be to stave off a drought. Then, of course, when the rains do hit, we would get mudslides. And then there's the infamous Fire Season. One time while I lived there, there were 13 different fires going on at the same time. Our daughter was trying to fly back home from Kansas and had to land in Arizona. Hubby and I had to quickly change our plans to pick her up. On the trip back (which was a turn-around) I saw the mountains that were on fire, as we drove passed. I wanted to cry. I had brand new furniture in my livingroom and there was a thin layer of ash all over it. Yet, we were not in the evacuation area. Pretty scary.
