Hi Ken!
Gotta windbreaker? ;-)
Actually, I'm sorry to hear that. It's not good for the farmers, or for us heavy orange juice drinkers later this year either. I'm just waiting to hear from someone in California. I understand there's some crazy weather happening out there, too.
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.
