Today's rain soaked San Francisco streets through the morning. Mike Obanda lives in Concord and says the rain poses no problem for him, even on a bike.

"With the exception of today, I usually ride my bike into work and I rode my bike and plowed through that rain without a problem," said Obanda. "I like it, the city is cleaner and the flowers and trees look great."

Michael Alexander lives in San Francisco and is one of many people who says the rain is welcome. Though a few people admit their starting to get a little water-logged.

"This is the second long-term drought I've lived through in the city, they come and they go, the rain will come and go too," said Alexander.

"I woke up this morning and heard the rain and was like dang, I wish this wasn't happening! At the same time, I'm happy that we have the water, it's green everywhere, it's a good thing," said Siobhan, an Alameda resident.
