Sheesh, War, it is 83 here and I think was hotter, upstairs, earlier (not 83 inside but the official temp for FV.

And it is breezy enough that my biggest windchime, twin to Spygirl's, is making mellow music. It is a nice day.

Today's high in San Diego was 80 degrees (F), with about 18% humidity. Tomorrow will be warmer. Winds are coming from the northwest, so they are still a bit cooling.

I wonder if they are taking donations to help Greensburg, Kansas.

What a weekend! Three days in a row.

Friday and Saturday nights turned out to be uneventful for us in Wichita. We got only rain and thunderstorms. The same areas west, near Greensburg, however, got clobbered again and again. The flooding is terrible!

Sunday was our day. In the morning, I got to church at 10:30 and at 11, the tornado sirens sounded. It was pre-emptive and was giving the city a lot of advanced warning about a storm sw of here. By the time I got home, the storm had dissipated. The rest of the day was more of that. Wall clouds, shelf clouds, lowering clouds, high winds, hail, and tons of rain...one storm after another. Overnight it was more rain, with thunder and lightening. I haven't heard how much rain we got yet.

We're supposed to have more thunderstorms today, but I don't think they are predicting it to be as bad as it was this weekend. And I hope they are right because the entire city's tornado siren system has malfunctioned and is not working.

Twiggy, I know they have setup local donation spots, and I'm sure the Red Cross is the center of it. Al Roker is here reporting live from Greensburg so maybe he will talk about how to donate.

Hope you have a weather radio, Spy. I got one for each house in our family after tornados tore through Springfield last year. More than a few times they've alerted me to impending severe weather when I had no idea previously. They're worth the investment.

Also they're a nag. I've had to replace the radio at my house a few times because once it gets rolling it keeps alerting for weather situations that really don't affect us. So Colossus turns it off, except it doesn't turn off. So then he yanks the cord out of the wall. It still alerts because of the batteries. The batteries don't come out so easy, and while you're trying to get them out the thing is blaring in your face. So then it winds up against the wall. Sigh.

Where is Wichita in relation to Greensburg?

My mom is in Colorado Springs, and they really got whammed by that storm that spawned the F5 tornado. They said it went thru pretty quickly, but it was pretty spectacular (lots of lightning, like the 4th of July fireworks). And they had severe weather watches (or is it warnings? I can never keep those two straight) most of the night.

And my local paper yesterday? It had a little map of Greensburg, and then showed a larger map of the states with the red 'detail area.' Funny, but Wyoming was sitting right on top of New Mexico and right west of Kansas. Somehow or other (maybe due to that F5?) the entire state of Colorado JUST VANISHED! <snicker> (And yeah, it was an AP article. Dummies!)

Today, again... beeyouteefull!!!! It's 71 degrees right now, and s'posed to hit 84. Love, love, LOVE it!

April2007 We are under more flash flood warnings. Not sure the underground aquifer can even take more water! Amazing after years of drought. I love the green and flowers though.

Does a weather radio stay quiet except when there is something to report? I think that would drive me batty and mine would also end up needing replacement.

It got up to 88 here, hot winds again. No A/C. Must be pollen about; I'm coughing and Critter has had a series of those tiny cat sneezes that are so cute but when the kitty is 17, also worriesome.

Seamonkey, yes they stay quiet unless there's severe weather watches or warnings to report. What's really great about them is they are so hearty that even after they've met the wall in a violent fashion you still hear that disembodied foreign-sounding voice telling you a tornado is on it's way to someone's house. You just can't kill them. I think one of ours wound up at the bottom of the lake.

We have a weather radio here for tsunami alerts. They test every Wens at noon. The puglets forget from week to week. Things get rather exciting for a couple of minutes til the next week. When our old man manx was still alive, he would make a dive for under the closest bed. Next week the same thing.

Today was so hot and it is still 71 at almost 1am. Very unusual for us to not drop more at night.

Almost as hot as yesterday. (Yesterday the city of Costa Mesa, just next door, hit 104!)

Well the 98 is correct, but I'm doubting it's hotter today than yesterday...I guess I'll find out when I get there!!! :-)

I thought I had been transported to another part of the world this morning when I walked outside and saw sunshine. It's a trick though. Continued rain is in the forecast as far as the eye can see. Dallas is 1/2 inch away from breaking the June record set in 1928.

The sad part is there has been a lot of flooding with lives lost, as well as many homes.

Just too hot. The weather channel tells me its 91, 45% humidity, so it feels like 94. I was just out there and I'd say it feels like more than 94, though. We are in severe drought conditions and when I set up my water account for the new house, I found out that we have 100% Outdoor Water Ban starting Sunday. But, we're supposed to have thunderstorms for the next few days, so maybe that will help. Maybe if those Texans would stop hogging all the rain...

Cdbga, sounds like here, except for the humidity (only 14%.) The last couple weeks have been in the mid to upper 90's and it's just miserable out.
