alt Hacker NewsI've lived in California my whole life (and the same town for most of that). This was the most rain I can remember in decades and the most "destruction" I've seen caused by it. Between the ground being saturated and wind before/after/during the storms there were plenty of downed trees.
We were also down to running sprinklers once a week (lawns are silly), but have had them off entirely for a bit now.

not even close to 2023 or 2017 seasons here in norcal, not by a mile...
The statewide rain totals for the 2025-2026 water year so far rank 6th out of the years of the 21st century, so aren't that remarkable in context. Do you live in a place that got slapped with a peculiarly high rainfall?
curious where in CA. in the past 15y ive def. seen more rain lol.
Spent 7+ years north of Truckee. There have been wetter/more snow years.
