Is this really an issue?

Right now we're breathing a sigh of relief as fire-season ending rains pour down out of the sky. We've waited three months or longer for them. I was watering my garden twice a day in July and August. We've had median fires on the freeway. And this is the wet side of the mountains, to the east it's a rain shadowed desert. Ephrata boasts 300 days a year of sunshine. What I'm saying is you can find reliable dry to ride in. Climate patterns are pretty steady and weather forecasting is pretty good.
