California, along with much of the western United States, is in the grip of a years-long drought that has badly depleted its rivers. California's signature blue skies put in an appearance on Wednesday, meaning visitors to Yosemite -- who were in exactly the right place at exactly the right time -- got their chance to see the firefall.
