The guy who wrote the song was wrong. It does rain in California. Often. When it does, it often comes in torrents, leaving local leaders in a pickle. They’re not prepared for the disasters these storms leave behind in their wake and must turn to others for help. That was the situation in January of 2023, when the board members of the Santa Maria Water Conservation District noticed above-average, torrential rainfall was filling the usually dry Twitchell Reservoir to a point beyond its capacity.

My first thought was “padel? Is that a misspelling?” But a part of my brain thought it’s right.
