Enough!

Add a $3,000 bill to fix our leaking garage roof to our ongoing house woes. But at least we're finally getting it fixed. The recent rains have not been kind to our house -- and I'm bracing for more problems as the next wave hits this weekend.

As a new storm makes its way here today, the L.A. Times reports that more rain has fallen in Los Angeles over the last three months — 15.68 inches — than normally falls in an entire year, making this the wettest start to a rainy season since 1966.

Now, forecasters expect a storm coming from the north and drawing moisture from warmer southern waters to dump up to 15 inches of rain in the mountains and up to 5 inches in Los Angeles beginning today and continuing through the weekend.

Meteorologists are at a loss to explain the extreme rain. Some blame El Nino -- but the storms aren't what usually appear during that weather condition. Meanwhile, the rains have helped Southern California's drought conditions -- somewhat:

Many major reservoirs and lakes such as Lake Mead remain below normal levels. It would take several years of above-normal rain to end the West's six-year drought.

And of course, we're not the only ones having to rush and make repairs:

The rains have also created brisk business for auto-repair shops fixing fender-benders and roofers working on leaky and collapsed roofs.

"Wow! We have 12 lines and they're all lit up throughout the course of the day," said Nicole Barrett of Advanced Roofing Solutions in Lakewood. "A couple of days ago we had to schedule over 100 appointments from the South Bay to the Valley. We had over 300 calls, and we had to turn people away."
