Hooray. Last night, we got 0.38 inches (9.7 mm).

However, our accumulation for the current rain year (October to
September) is about half of this date last year; and last year was a
very dry year.

from what i've read (tree ring studies):

the longer term record seems to show that the past 100
years was much wetter than the previous 1900 years. that
we may just be seeing a return to the norm.

if so, yikes for people over there...
