Friend in Oakland:
Oakland, CA HAD 1 inch fall from the last storm overnight Thursday, but was beautiful for swimming Friday morning. I haven't seen how much fell overnight. However, it hasn't left a lot of standing water in our yard which happens if the rain falls to fast. So I am assuming it was steady. As to the drought, the water that falls here waters here, and the runoff goes right down to Lake Merritt or Chabot reservoir and remainder right into the bay so it doesn't do much long term
 



Jabari Wilson rushed for three touchdowns and Vernon Adams Jr. passed for 309 yards and two more as Eastern Washington scored six TDs after halftime, defeating Portland State 56-34 Friday night and winning its third-straight Big Sky Conference championship.
The three-peat is a first for Eastern (10-2, 7-1), which also earns the Big Sky's automatic berth to the FCS playoffs for the eighth time in 11 seasons.
Wilson, a sophomore starting in place of Quincy Forte (ankle), rushed for a career-high 132 yards. He scored on runs of 1 and 6 yards to put the Eagles up 35-20 after halftime.
Last or First?

A female gray wolf from the Northern Rockies traveled hundreds of miles into northern Arizona, marking the species' first appearance in the region in more than 70 years and the farthest journey south, wildlife officials confirmed Friday.
A wolf-like animal had been spotted roaming the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the adjacent national forest since last month. Biologists collected its scat and sent it to a University of Idaho laboratory for testing, verifying what environmentalists had suspected based on its appearance and a radio collar around its neck.
