A simple rainstorm doesn't end a drought. It rained when I was there 2 years ago.
It is an atmospheric river of tropical moisture that only occurs with such severity every 10-25 years.
I guess I'm not sure what your point was.
The drought is already over for most of northern California and this storm will put a big dent in the central CA drought.
Isn't it going to mostly miss the severe drought areas in the southern part of the valley around Bakersfield, and SoCal?
