Footsteps of Dawn Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Me neither! Let's see...yesterday we had a hale warning, a flash flood warning, and - get this - a TORNADO warning! And then, of course, boring stuff like thunder and lightning (actually, I am pretty blasé about thunderstorms now after seeing the mother of all thunderstorms in Kentucky this summer). Luckily, the tornado never showed up, but what the heck! You'd think this was Kansas or something! Except not really, because we'd be under several feet of snow right now if that was the case. I can't complain, really, considering the most ice I've seen all winter was at an indoor hockey rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I never did believe that song. The song actually plays upon the idiom "When It Rains, It Pours" (it hasn't happened for a long time, and then it happens all at once...you probably knew that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 We battoned down our hatches on Sunday. Rain Monday. Rain Tuesday. It's been raining today since noon and it still raining. Thursday is the last front and is suppose to be the strongest one. I'll have to get out the raft and oars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was talking about the tornado warnings...I told her to stay in the house so she wouldn't get blown to Oz! Then...on Facebook, I posted that we must have a tornado here too, and she asked if I got her storm! LOL On a more serious side: I hope NO ONE gets flooded out.

One good thing is it'll bring out the desert wildflowers like the time Death Valley got a lot of rain and the colors bloomed like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 ^that would be awesome to see! Ibelieve it was in '97 when I lived in Castro Valley, CA and El Nino wasin full swing and it rained every damned day in January. Talk aboutdepressing. I remember El Nino that year.

Hotplant Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So much for a quick road trip to the beach. Coming from snow country it's weird to see plows plowing mud not snow from the roads. Calling all MUD plows! But seriously, I hope all our CA members are safe, as well as their homes. Be careful guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's like, we're not in Kansas, and not "anymore," either - it never has been Kansas, and it doesn't need to start now! They're having mandatory evacuations in some parts of Los Angeles. I hope everybody's house is okay, and that they stay safe. I hope Mission Valley here in SD is okay...I haven't heard anything either way, but that spot always floods at the the drop of a hat, so I hope nobody's house has been damaged. I think my house is okay...it's kind of hard to explain, but my house is halfway down a hill on a cul-de-sac. The road that our cul-de-sac crosses starts at the top of the hill and continues down to the bottom, so the water follows that line and pretty much bypasses my street.

LarryD Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I am high and dry but I'm thinking about buying an amphibian car to get to work in. Dig into your wallet and buy an antique AMPHICAR!! Here's a 1966 model, see the propellers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 ^^^Thanks for the pics. Blue sky and sunshine does still exist. After a week of rain we have a couple of days to dry out before we get some milder rain next week. My fence got so soaked it fell over. It was old wood and we will have to probably replace it when spring rolls around. Just another project on the list. Cha-Ching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
