Thanks for the update, Jane. I'm very sorry to hear about all the devastation. It is a little unclear whether the loss of cattle, pastureland etc. has impacted you personally, other than the emotional impact of the loss to friends, neighbors and community. Anyway, I sure hope the rains let up and things improve soon!

The national news is covering your situation, though concentrating more on Texas.

You may or may not be aware that much of Southern California is in extreme draught - Los Angeles, for instance, has had the lowest rainfall total (3.21 inches June through June) since they began keeping records 130 years ago.
