We have our first frost warning for tonight. It's 63 now with the sun close to setting. We may have to turn on the furnace in the morning, but I hope not. What a difference a couple of weeks can make! Summer is definitely over here, too.

We just had a hail storm that lasted about 20 minutes. It just wouldn't stop. Quarter size, plum size and baseball size, it was all there. The sound was deafening. The neighborhood is buzzing with sirens. And just as the hail started slowing down, I opened my front door to take a look, and lightening hit the tree directly across the street. It scared the crap out of me. My hands are still shaking. I'm just east of KC. eta: it looks like it's not over according to the news.

I'm fine It's still raining and I know the hail had to gave done some damage because water is coming down the chimney into the fireplace. Looks like the insurance company gets a call tomorrow. Good thing we just paid the insurance bill this week...LOL

Well, the guy our insurance agent recommended to come out and assess the damage from the hail storm we had Saturday afternoon just left. Now remember we just had our roof replaced June of 2008 from a different storm. This time the guy says we need a whole new roof on the shed and house, all new gutters, all new trim (it's metal and all dented), new window screens on the front side of the house, and a new chimney cap. I didn't even see this before.... I had a few white resin pedestal planters in front of the garage, and one is shattered on one side, and one has one side cracked off. I also had 4 solar lights around the deck, and one was knocked completely off the deck and the top is cracked and caved in from hail hitting it dead on top. The gas grill has a few good dings, too. The more I look around, the more I find. The plants I had by the mailbox are just flattened. I knew I wasn't just overreacting when I was freaking out during the storm...LOL It was the worst and longest hail storm I personally ever experienced and DH wasn't home during and never saw it. Let's just hope when the actual insurance guy comes out here that he agrees with the roofer he sent out. They are supposed to meet here together some time in the next 2 days.

Thanks for the sympathy you guys But...As along as the insurance company pays up, it will have seemed more like an adventure than a terrible experience

A terrible storm went through at 4:00 pm. Heavy rain and wind. Power lines down. Fallen trees.

I cannot cannot cannot believe how hot it is in SoCal. Yesterday it was over a hundred and today, if anything, it's hotter than that. ETA: OK, the LA Times says downtown LA hit 113 today, an all time record for the city.

Saturday Dakota had an early game, we had to be to the park by 7am (leaving home at 6:30.) It was so warm then we didn't bother taking sweatshirts or anything. The girls jerseys are sleeveless, Septembers are usually warm here, but for those early games the girls will wear undershirts or sweatshirts until it warms up. Not Saturday, I think there was one girl who showed up in her undershirt and she only lasted a couple minutes before she was running to the bathroom to take it off. Even me (and I'm cold when everyone else is hot) was sitting there in shorts and tshirt and reaching for the cold water over my hot tea, which I never did drink.

Ack, Scoot, that had to have been miserable! We were lucky this weekend, Kota's games were at 8 and 11:30. We were done by about 1:20 so they only had to deal with the high heat for a while.

Hot, HOT and HOTTER! here. My first patient I picked up at 9:30am, already needed A/C in the car. At 10am it was 95 in Santa Ana.. we pass the same time/temp thing on Tustin whenever I drive her.. about 10 or so days ago it was 63 at 10:30am there. Second patient.. I had a wait of an hour or more.. found shade and then found myself a waiting room with A/C.. but oh so hot when I had to come back out! He had been shuttled to Ontario (Calif) for radiation.. this is out near Bill and Pamy and also where we met Juju and Bigdog on their last trip through So Cal.. he said it was REALLY hot there, well over 100.. not at all surprised. Still 80 here at almost 10pm and I'm only 3-4 miles from the ocean! Inland, ACK.. Cannot even imagine Kota and Rae and others playing games out there!

Has still been hot, but not as hot and we've had some cool looking clouds. Today we may have thundershowers.. well mostly in the mountains I guess. But earlier I was hearing thunder off and on for half an hour. Supposed to be humid, too..
