Carl,

Mostly it was a helluva lotta' rain. The negative consequences were in urban areas (back when I lived in Venice, it took only a moderate rainfall to produce a huge puddle in the street in front of my house) and in places where people lived on or below to slopes that become unstable when exposed to a lot of rainfall.
To my knowledge, agriculture was not particularly affected by our recent storms.
So don't worry. Your Valencia orange supply is assured. Likewise for artichokes, brussels' sprouts and almods. Etc.
Glad to hear it, Randall. Unfortunately, a lot of that great food won't get up here. We're almost as far north and east as you can get from Calif. and still be in the U.S.. That, and our meager population density (+/- 43/sq.mi.) makes us a poor market by comparison. But thanks for the tasty memories! - Carl
