The big deal is that the ground has already been saturated by all the previous rains up to this point so that means more runoff which will actually fill our creeks and lakes. We got decent rain over the summer, but it was off and on small amounts and amounted to keeping the plants green and not adding significantly to the water system. You need the ground to be saturated or heavy rainfall to do that... or like this weekend, both.
