We had the most amazing thunder/lightening tonight. Went to Carls Jr for dinner about 6:30 or so and it must have been around 7 when we came out. Very, very loud thunder and then the whole sky lit up. We came home and sat in the living room watching it for about 20 minutes before it stopped. Can't remember the last time we had that much thunder and lightening so bright! We only got about 3-4 minutes of light sprinkles too.

The thunder and lightening that was so cool at 7 last night, not so cool at 1:45 am! Woke all of us up, me and Darren set up and looked at each other and then we laid down. Dakota was in our room a couple minutes later scared half to death, followed by Caleb maybe a minute later. The puppy wasn't far behind them and she did what at least Kota wanted to do, jumped right into the middle of the bed between us and laid there shaking. We finally got the kids back to bed and laid there for a while listening to it before Darren said it was useless to try to sleep (he had to be up in an hour or so for work) and got up. Dakota barely waited for him to get out of the room before she came in dragging blankie and climbing into bed with me.

We thought it was pretty loud then, but around 2:30 there was some thunder so huge it shook the windows of the house and everybody was getting out of bed again. At that point, the sky pretty much opened up and it started to rain in sheets. Between the thunder and lightening and Kota and the puppy in bed with me I didn't get a whole lot of sleep and the kids didn't either. It was about 5am when I told the kids they were staying home, I knew they must be exhausted after last night and to tell the truth, I hadn't had enough sleep to get out and try to drive them to school. Then it quieted down around 7 and we were finally able to get a little sleep before it started back up again.

Finally at 8, I caught Dakota's elbow in the middle of my back and PJ was tangled in my hair and I told them to move over and I heard from the other side of her, "Hi mom." So by this morning, I'd ended up with both kids and the dog in bed with me.

Everything (the rain, thunder, and lightening) stopped about 8:30 and it's been pretty quiet since then, but I guess its supposed to continue on and off all day.

I was awakened by LOUD thunder just before 6am.. and rain and more of each since then.

Yesterday was just gloomy all day with sprinkles as I drove about. LOL.. after my second patient, back at her house, I pulled out her walker and was startled that there was a but wet spot! Thought I'd left the back window a little bit open but she said it was probaby from the walker.. she uses it in the shower too.. strange, because the walker had been folded in the back seat on the way over and she had rolled it all around inside for her radiation appt and to see a couple of doctors. I guess I just put it in with the other side down and the water was able to escape. I have cloth seats, too.. luckily most of it was absorbed by a throw rug I'd put on the seat since I knew I had two patients using walkers and they might be a little bit wet. Never thought of one being full of water (the tubing for the frame). So the "weather" in my car was a bit damp.

YIKES! I may have to build an ARK at this rate! Since I'm on call for jury duty this week, my volunteer driving has to be decided day by day. Yesterday I drove two patients. Last night I found out I just call in again tonight about jury duty so I was assigned a patient and called her last night and will pick her up at 2pm, but also we talked about another patient.. I'd have been driving to Orange right now to meet a shuttle.. but I let ACS know that one was enough today. I know the second patient has lots of friends/family to call in and they will. Whew. Now if it would just slack off by 1:30 board time!

But for now, lots of thunder and rain.

Scooter, I know you are hearing the same thunder!!

We were supposed to have major thunder/lightning and pouring rain during the a.m. commute. It's only now just starting to rain. No thunder. Just rain. Bleah.

Scoot in case no one told you, you are supposed to catch a ball with your hand, or at least that is what we do on the east coast

Ouch!

Well we've had even more thunder and rain. Right now just dripping and for about 5 min. we had sun but that went away too. Crossing fingers that it will not be raining hard when I pick up at 2pm and later when I drop off.. cancer treatment is hard enough without the patient getting showered on.

Sis called to tell me their entire neighborhood is flooded and not to try to come over. They had parked in the back last night and didn't realize how bad it was until they left the house to run an errand. Decided while they were out to pick the girls up early from school so they wouldn't have to go out again later. No surprise, the neighborhood has always flooded pretty badly ever since I was a kid. Er, when I say flooded, I mean enough you don't want to be walking or driving through it, not the type you'd see on the news.

I'm wondering about flooding.. I'm just going to Santa Ana and back here to FV and then getting them home but there is an area across the county where roads always flood.. hoping I'll be avoiding those today. Leaving read soon.

Sounds like a great idea to scoop up the kids while they were already out!

Sea, that was the extent of the rumbles. Just a teaser!

Scooter, LOL! Sorry about the fat lips, and hope you're OK and that the fam have recovered from the trauma of seeing you getting smacked in the mouth! (Was it a foul ball or were you on the field?)

My mom just left SD yesterday and came home after 4 days. She said she ate at the soup place (Soup Plantation?) and it was AWESOME. Anyway, she said it was dreary and chilly there the whole time, whereas here in Nor Cal it was 85.

Yup. We've not had sun since Wednesday morning last week. Almost a full week now. And this weekend it was drizzly and dreary.

Souplantation is owned by the same peeps as Sweet Tomatoes. I know there are Sweet Tomatoes in the Bay Area. I think the same idea at both places (salad/soup bar and so on)? I ate at Souplantation last Thursday!

Oh and back to weather... it's supposed to be like this thru Thursday. So over a week WITHOUT SUN!!!! I'm SUCH a grouch!

I got to drive through rain, some lightning and a little bit of flooding.

And my recording of One Tree Hill has been riddled with storm warnings for Wargod.. sounds like it could be bad out there.

Not sure why our cable in Orange County needed that warning, however, or at least so long and loud and wordy, right over the show.

Oh great, haven't checked out the weather reports since earlier this afternoon.

Thunder/lightening/tons of hard, heavy rain then it stops. Then it starts again. Then it stops. We haven't had heavy rain like this in probably 10 years. We had thunder about an hour ago that was so loud I held my breath for a few seconds sure the house would start shaking. Right now it's coming down really hard, it's pretty nuts.
