I did not think your part of the country was getting any rain?

its not Don, Lake Skinner is filled from Diamond Valley, which is topped up from the Colorado river

Bad enough that California burns every summer and that it is going to fall into the ocean pretty soon but now you don't have enough rain to live on. At least you are getting water from a different area.

The mods just create problems. The admin (JDEG) has to fix them all.
