Here, we typically get a lot of rain throughout the spring, which usually results in flooding as the water runs off the mountains and down through the hollows. This year, we've gotten a lot of rain so far, but it's been a gentle, soaking sort of rain as opposed to the typical violent flooding sorts of spring storms we get, and that's been good for gardens from what I can see around me. The rain is falling slow enough to soak in and provide for the crops rather than too fast, which results in runoff and flooding.
Right now, we are in the midst of about a week of gentle rains, and we've only had one light flood so far all year - none of the gully-washers we are typically subjected to.
