Actually yes, because it’s a different kind of rain and you can walk around in the rain many times. In Oklahoma, where I’m at, it actually has more rainfall than in Oregon, but you can’t walk around in it the same way you can in Oregon.
Also, the ocean and the mountains ... there are only hills in Oklahoma ... :-) ...
Yes, the rain here is usually gentle compared to other places. I remember rain you can’t see through in Houston. But...It rained today, and yesterday and maybe tomorrow.....at least everything is really green!
