Three days of rain? Well it was like one day of moderate rain here, and then the next day it sprinkled a bit. After that, it was just cloudy for a couple of days. However, on that day when it rained really heavy here (Friday), it was absolutely coming down a storm in the Tehachapi mountains between here and Bakersfield. We went that way as we had to head to Bakersfield that day. It was kinda off and on sunny/rainy here, but it was just a downpour up there.
All in all, I think we got around 1" of rain; Tehachapi got like 3.5" of rain. An inch is still a lot of rain, but nowhere near as much as other places like where you live got. Then again, I'm actually in the desert, so I don't expect too much :/
