Re: Rain? Maybe.YES!

I've been periodically checking the radar out there, Theresa, because my bro lives in Ventura, and it's sure ugly looking http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ridge/Conus/pacsouthwest_loop.php
Stay safe--and, if possible, dry. The Cosumnes floods in a average rainstorm--must be scary now.

It poured down rain this afternoon- harder than i've ever seen it here. My front flower bed (raised brick) flooded and actually overflowed. That has never, ever happened. The street flooded because the storm drain couldn't keep up with the amount of water falling. A couple of us in the neighborhood went out to see what we could do. Move a few leaves, but really it was water volume the was overwhelming. I did onclog one of my downspount and 2 on my neighbors house. My other neighbor lost part of his fence. I only lost 1 board off my fence!. We'll see what tomorrow's storm brings- it is supposed to be worse. Everything in completely waterlogged.

The cloud deck is as low as I've seen it - sure looks like it ought to
be raining, but nothing yet, and no wind either. Now they're saying
around 10 tonight. Everyone is getting a bit skeptical at this point,
but all those meteorologists can't be wrong - can they?

We've got clouds now, it is almost completely overcast, so who
knows...maybe by lunchtime we'll see some rain. I can't tell from my
window if it's windy or not but I'm sure if any weather develops it will 
include wind. And we keep hearing about how bad the winds are supposed
to be. I'm waiting.
I should ask husband if he cleaned out the rain gauge. We talked about
it last night but I forgot to go out.

It is pouring here again and very windy. Glad I'm not flying today! I 
went outside a bit ago and uprighted a pot- only to have it blow over
again. made sure gutters were all running and storm drain was clear.
Also staked and tied my wild lime that is in a pot and was becoming
unhinged at the roots. By the time I came inside I was completely soaked 
and dripping.  I should have picked my tangelos while I was out, but
didn't think of it and I'm not going back out now that I'm dry again.

Not yet...despite yesterday's breathless predictions of high winds and 
drowning rain, it is bright and sunny here this morning. Had to wear
sunglasses driving in. Now they say the deluge will happen tonight
through Saturday. I can see a huge cloudbank off to the northwest, so
I'm waiting.
I still don't see why it can't rain during the week, when I don't have 
outside activity planned.

Our local paper has apparently hired a comedy writer, no doubt one

those poor souls on the picket line in Hollywood. Their article this 
morning says that over the next few days we could get up to six

inches

of rain. BWAHAHAHA!!!
Six inches of rain. Yeah, and Santa Claus left all those presents,

too.

Okay so they did hedge their bets with the "could get" part but the
article is full of breathless speculation about this incredible

deluge.

It's almost as bad as the TV news and their "STORMWATCH!" teams.
Hmmpf.
