Everyone welcome, Hurricane Hilary

Drizzle and a little bit of wind in Woodcrest currently. Nothing notable thus far other than the savings on my water bill and being able to sweep my lot in a few days with the tractor to get some of the weeds out of my life 

 
Driving in to work this morning, looks like it kept solidly raining until late last night. 

"Damage" (mud on the roads, fallen eucalyptus, vehicle-shaped Scooby Doo holes in fences) was no different than a major rainstorm.  Only odd part is August for this instead of November-February.  

 
Good thing the Dodgers moved up their schedule by a day and played 2 on Saturday.   Here's the stadium yesterday:

Pretty mellow in the South Bay yesterday.  Rain started at 8:00 a.m and was steady all day and night.  Little bit of flooding in the usual spots .  . .

 
got 4.5" of rain at my house  couldn't double check because the mechanical gauge fell/blew over but i believe it  (my neighbor showed 5" with two different gauges)

im at 2050' elevation, 10 miles east of Pendelton/ocean

lots of rain and wind for a long time.  all and all it was nothing super crazy,  best part was the  howling of the wind at times was awesomely loud.  rain at times was coming down at a 45 deg angle

It's actually like this every September, in San Diego. I know, because I have video and pics of it being nearly 100 degrees and raining, around the SSSS and the rain compromises an entire Summer worth of work, every year. I got into a HUGE argument with my brother over this and he insisted I was an idiot and was incorrect as it "NEVER rains in SD in September!" So... I pulled out my iPhone 7+ I've had since 2017 with videos of rain for the last 5 Septembers. He still insists I'm wrong, even though there's clear video supporting my claims... and we don't talk much anymore because of his inability to see obvious chit, with his own eyes... while insulting those with proof.

I called this storm coming BEFORE September, everyone in my family said I was wrong... then made sure I helped them get chit ready for the storm that DID come though, just as predicted.

My un-scientific opinion is that to most mammals/humans, weather is NOT vitally important to day to day life.  Does a cow give a crap if it's hot... cold... snowing... raining... NOPE, they just go chomp their grass and make more yummy hamburgers.

This is why when all knowing Science™  says it's hotter, colder, wetter, dryer than E'VAH.  A lot of folks go, Well "they" are smarter than me so "they" must be right...  And historically "they" have been wrong most of the time.

Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, swarms.  Only a couple of plagues left to make it an even 10. :biggrin:

I meant a major storm like this.  We get thunderstorms, but 2"+ of rain all day long in a single storm is usually a "winter" thing here for us.

That's because humans are egotistical morons.  We tend to try to quantify the world on our timescale...

Which is a mere blink in the eye of the existence of the cosmos.  "Record highs!  Record Lows!  Record Rainfall!"  Idiots.  We just started tracking this reliably a hundred years ago.  California was covered in glaciers a couple dozen millennia ago, which ain't chit as far as Earth is concerned...  Me starting my car has nothing to do with it.



 
According to my pool tile we got about in inch in Garden Grove.  :classic_blink:

That was a close one. 

 
anybody know if the washes took any flooding or storage across from the beach store?
