When you’re in a drought for a long time and then get a shitload of rain all at once, it doesn’t end the drought because it’s not absorbed into the ground well when the earth is that dry and it all just runs off.
It does help certain things, fills up reservoirs for example but droughts are measured based on a bunch of different factors and a single heavy rainfall event doesn’t fix that
The US gubment, Drought Monitor says California is in a severe drought, bullshit. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/

It's been raining in California since Thanksgiving, it hasn't been all at once, your excuse doesn't hold much water, pun! lol
