Southern California and much of the Southwest have been struggling with a drought, but there is some long awaited weather headed our way within the next 24 hours and perhaps through the weekend.

As California braces for rain, thunderstorms and potentially hail with the storm landing Thursday evening, keep an eye on your home or business for water leaks and other issues that might arise.  Rain events are the perfect opportunity to let mother nature do some of the testing for your building and structure.
