In the wake of the vicious rainstorms lashing much of California and causing millions of dollars of damage and flooding thousands of people's homes, many areas of the state are slowly coming out of drought conditions.

While the storms have affected Northern California the worst, with at least 17 people killed, Southern California has also received its fair share of rain. The Los Angeles Times reported that Los Angeles County experienced 2 to 6 inches of rain along the coast, with around 8 inches in the mountains. A further half-inch to 1.5 inches may still be on its way.
