Rain at last!
Finally some rain after an unusually dry fall. The difference between 'unusually dry' and 'typically dry' is minor, since Jul/Aug/Sept are typically almost rainless. But the timing is crucial. Back in 1991 we had a similar long dry fall, which was broken first by a windstorm. Result: Huge deadly fires. This time we're getting some rain first, with some wind possibly to come later. (Also, for some reason this rain smells good. Usually rain after dry is stinky.)
Thanks, weather gods! Sequence makes all the difference.

Artistic note: Yes, I know Mr Sun is below the clouds. Deal with it. He also seems to be unshaven, which is an artifact of using a low-quality GIF to save some bytes.
