AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND - Another wet month with almost 4 inches of rain did wonders for our reservoir. The island is a bright emerald color with the burn areas looking lush.

Some California marine areas did experience high waves, flooding and unusual tide conditions and although the Advisory for our waters did spark much concern, Avalon seemed unaffected.
