     They really need it, especially in northern California...plus   
   Washington and Oregon.

     For the areas that got it, yes. Unfortunately, it wasn't a widespread,   
   general, soaking rainfall, which is really needed. October is normally   
   our driest month of the year, averaging only 2.8 inches of rain in   
   Little Rock.
