Have you ever spent a while writing a post, only to lose it due to some error, and you don't have the enthusiasm to write it all again? Just happened to me due to "an error with my username or password". When I clicked to go back and fix the problem my post was gone. Oh well.
Was gonna say that I would hate the vog but would welcome getting only half the rain I currently get in Eden Roc, which historically is 150" to 200" a year. I personally would roll with that punch. It would probably be associated with more sporadic rain and longer dry spells.
Longer dry spells can be dealt with although the cost would not be trivial. At 70 to 100 gallons per day per person a family of 5 would need a 40,000 to 50,000 gallon tank if they were to last the 3 months of summer. They make them that big. Yes, some of the people you see filling dozens of old milk jugs at the county taps would not be able to afford one but many households would.
