This rain is already ridiculous here. I'm in Orange County which usually averages about 4 to 5 inches of rain at this time of the season and we are already over 18 inches in most places. We're supposed to get another inch overnight. There's a big cut hill above our place and every morning and afternoon during these storms I've been looking it over for possible sliding indicators (I'm a geologist). So far so good, lots of good vegetation along it and drainage is spread over it nicely. Still, my wife is a bit freaked out about it especially since there have been a lot of slides lately due to the heavy rain. Hope it gets dry here soon. The ground seems to be over-saturated wherever you look and storm drains are overflowing. Hope everyone hit by these storms is fairing well.
