Talk about weather everywhere today, I'm stuck at my bosses house above a desert flood gully.......Not a hurricane but flash flooding here. How is San Diego?

Logging in from my bosses computer, I may be stuck here for awhile this evening. She's at her office and I'm here.

The National Weather Service in San Diego has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
south central Riverside County in southeast California
northern San Diego County in southwest California

National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
a heavy thunderstorm 7 miles southwest of Santa Rosa Mountain... or
about 21 miles southwest of Palm Desert. A second thunderstorm was
located 6 miles north northeast of Warner Springs. Both storms were
nearly stationary but increasing in areal coverage

Mud slides and rock slides are expected with this storm. Mud slides
and rock slides can potentially trap and kill people caught in their
path.

So far ok...from what I've heard/seen on the news, etc. Some areas reported heavy rain, but nothing bad, really...they are just concerned about the fire burned areas.

I think Kyla would get rain before I will since she's further east nearer the eastern mountains (one of the areas the rain seems to be lingering over)...and then I think it would hit Riverside area from the other set of clouds, long before anything would get closer to the coast and get my area, near the Scripps Ranch/Poway burn area.

I was definitely surprised to wake up at 5:15 am to sounds of what I initially thought (muffled by earplugs) was someone messing with the AC units on my condo roof...and then saw the outside lights flickering. Took a second to go back to my midwest years and realize it was a thunderstorm with lots of lightening (no rain)...crazy! Don't get that often here!

Hope you stay safe out there...was wondering how you were making out in the desert area! Pretty crazy that we're even getting some potential weather news here, as well...with the big stuff happening in the Florida area..........

All of that rain is east and north of us. We're under the same advisory but not close enough to get any runoff. And it just won't rain here.

All in Florida, my prayers have been going out to you all day and will continue until you are all safe.
