Yeah, it got pretty brutal between, hmm, about 8:30 and 9:30. I walked outside for a second because the rain was so hard on the roof I actually thought it was hailing. I looked out front and the water was coming over the curb into our yard, our neighborhoods drainage is pretty good and when that happens you know it's bad. In the last 24 hours, we've probably had more rain than we've had all year (maybe not but it sure feels that way!) Told Caleb under no circumstance is he to walk to school in the morning. This mess has been coming on quick (earlier this evening we had clear blue skies for a while) and even if it's not raining when it's time to leave it could start up on his way to school. If it's as bad as it was earlier this evening, I'm keeping them home. Couple years ago it snowed and I kept waiting and waiting for the school to call and say come get your kids. They never did and I ended up driving to school it what for us was a big snow storm (people who get real snow would roll their eyes at me, lol) but it scared the crud out of me. I don't want to end up with kids at 2 different schools and driving through flooded streets no one should be on!

Well, while I absolutely hate this rain, on the plus side we are: 1. No longer in a drought here. 2. No longer worried about fire season right now. Still, just about 3/4" of rain in the city of San Diego yesterday, and almost 2" in other areas of the county. AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THE SUN IN A WEEK!!!!!!!! (I was gonna take the day off and drive out to the desert to get some sun, but oh, no. It's freakin' raining out there, too!)

This is the last place you want to be, Costa, lol! We've been getting hammered out in the desert the last two days. The thunder last night, which got very bad around 1:30 or so, reminded me of the time I was in high school and we went camping across the lake from an army proving grounds. The same week they were having war games and blowing stuff up!

Weather is cool & crisp, but the sun is bright. For fall weather, it's good; beats a cold, rainy, dark day. I miss summer already. I really hate winter, and fall is my second-least-favorite season.

Finally an almost dry day.. just some sprinkles on my way from Newport Beach to Orange but not even enough to use wipers and then it was over (well I didn't go home on that route, but I was out of it. Even had some sun come out.. I was wearing a fairly heavy sweater, then went to Kohl's and left sweater in the car since I was planning to try on stuff and didn't need that extra item (large cardigan).. came out and no need for sweater, went to Curves, came out and it was kind of hot, but in the distance.. toward Scooterville and Bill and Pamy Town.. looked REALLY dark out there!

Really didn't have sun yesterday, although it didn't rain much till last night. Been drizzling most of the morning although looks like it might try to have some sun later on. Still on tap for more drizzle tonight AND tomorrow morning. Sigh. Rumor is a slight Santa Ana could be heading here Wednesday. I tell you what, I am SOOOO looking forward to even a SLIGHT one. Could I have some temperatures that are above 75 degrees PLEASE???

Still damp and drippy early morning but lookd to be a nice sunny day out there today.. naturally when I don't have to drive. I'd love several days of Santa Ana and to get the contractor back after the dryness to paint the stairs he built. Arrgh.

More cloudy here than sunny, but really, it's the wind that is the big nasty for today. It has been bad most of the day and we're under a wind advisory until tomorrow evening. We spent most of the day inside.

Record heat forecast for today....in the sense that it's going to be 92 to 94 degrees and it's almost November! That's warm for this late in the year even in San Antonio.

I was just coming to post that Mack. Isn't it bizarre? The weather man last night said it hit 91 in Austin yesterday.

Serate, Try to stay calm. The only good thing about tornadoes is that they're generally over quickly. I'll stay right here refreshing for a few minutes in case you want to talk.

And remember that hubby is probably hunkered down where ever he is and his phone might not be working very well because of walls.

I bet you're sitting there with the animals and talking to your husband right now, aren't you? That's ok, I'll still wait a while longer to make sure you're ok.
