Rained like hell all night Friday, and into early Saturday but tapered off to scattered showers… Got a bout 2.5 inches of rain with more on the way for Sunday..

Unfortunately all the rain didn’t wash the moonbats or the illegal population out of here… Still have several shopping carts scattered around and the steady pulse of the Mexican beat still ring through the hood…

This is certainly some crazy weather conditions. Hopefully the areas being hit by the storm will come out okay in the end.

Northern California Bay Area Here … A bit of rain here and some wind ,storm grossely exagerated by the media ,my garage under my house below street level never saw humidity the pump I installed 20 years ago never kicked on.Otherwise everything is normal aside of few idiot who drove on the freeway like on sunny weather earning them a free ride on a tow truck after crashing their vehicle ,no sympathy for them at all . Mountain road closure due to high wind and snow, not much more than that .

From what I’ve seen we came through okay here in Nor Cal. I haven’t talked to my boyfriend yet, who lives in the high eastern Sierras. There’s some serious snow up in his area, as well as high winds.

Unfortunately for the MSM, we seem to have come through okay. The creeks and rivers are swollen but not overflowing their banks. People have been without power but it’s turned back on for the most part.

We have a respite now but expect another storm today. If there’s enough rainfall, we will have problems with mudslides and flooding. It’ll be a mess but we’ve been through it many times!!

It is hard to take the problems and dangers there seriously as I have seen on several websites the news about the bad weather and also seen some moronic surfer on the ocean.
What are we to think in landlocked areas?? Hmmmmm.

I know I’ll be keeping an eye on the weather, too – a storm that big has a way of spilling over to the desert area, and with an outdoor shop, gotta batten down the hatches!
