It has eased up today, but there's supposed to be a biggie late tonight. :sweat:

All this talk about thunderstorms, but I haven't seen it yet... :sweat:

I heard thunder last night and actually caught a glimpse of a lightning strike as well.

Did anyone catch the lunar eclipse? It was so eerie as the full moon drifted in and out of the clouds, each time having a bigger and bigger slice taken out of it.

No but I actually saw the dayem sun for about 2 minutes before the gray storm clouds hid it once again.

Didn't rain here yesterday thanks to the rain shadow effect but now it's pooring again.

^ Yeah, the heavy rain and thunderstorms that was supposed to happen around midnight finally showed up... 12 hours late.

Looks like we're finally done with all the rain... For the moment. :sweat:

Any you guys get swept away? Read that there's heavy flooding.

I felt like I was living in the Pacific Northwest this past week. We needed the rain but all at once wasn't good. :(

its kinda nice not to have the constant rain...I actually saw a glimpse of sunlight breaking thru the clouds during the afternoon lunch hour. It does look like the rain has stopped....for now.

Mostly for people living in the hills and burn areas.

The only flooding us city-dwellers is from the over-taxed street gutters. :sweat:

Yup... We can't handle more than a couple days worth of rain.

So much for the supposed bone-dry La Nina weather pattern for the season. :sweat:

Cold front is coming back in. :bleh:

^^ No it's not, it's already arrived, -9C but feels colder, what a long winter it's been yet it's only been here for 3 days. :beaten:

I think we got a third of a season of rainfall in just those 5 to 6 days of rain, amazing, and maybe they won't fret when we water our yard so much, as in previous years, or was that a LA restriction a year or so back during the drought...I assume that is a pass-time thing now.

Not sure if it really helps the drought since most of the rain ends up back in the ocean via the sewer system... It's the snow pack that fills the reservoirs for our water supply.

Looks like you're in for another round of rain. Dreaming of a wet Christmas.

Only a 20 percent chance of rain for tomorrow. I'll take those odds.
