Hubby just told me that there's .8" of rain in the gauge, since last night.
Bump!
I live in La Canada Flintridge and we have been having very heavy rains. I haven't seen it rain this hard since I left Florida.
Which is complete and utter garbage.
Yes, when I look out my window over your direction, I can tell you are getting even more of a downpour than we are here, if that is possible!! It is so crazy. Every once in a while the sun peeps out as if to tantalize us!! Then BOOM!!!!!!! the downpours hit again. How long will this go on??
Which is complete and utter garbage.
Why do you say that???
.
After the South Asia Earthqukes/Tsunami's there were news reports that Space Satellites picked up the Earth's axis shifting ever so slightly afterwards. The only question is what effect this has had on the world's Weather since?
So far Southern California seems to be seeing the most seasonal change with buckets of rain collapsing canyon walls onto roads and Freeways.
.
Actually, what's being under-reported is the Pacific Ocean experienced the el Nino condition in 2004. That is what's driving all this rain. Happens every 7 years or so.
Mark Kriski? I dont trust any dude wearing makeup each morning.
No, I dont have a ping list...I just post it in CA....I was out in this slop all day....my feet are still cold!
Well, we missed you, I'll ping you to a couple of threads, and you can get caught up on some of the news if interested.
The thunder has begun again, yet I thought the storm was gone. Have you seen a recent satellite image? Are we going to get more of what happened last night? It thundered all night long last night.
something just shook my building...i saw a slight flash...was that over in your neck of the woods?
I made a room addition last year. There was SO MUCH RAIN AT ONCE, that somehow an amount of water got under the flashing on the roof and left me with a few gallons on the floor.
I was up on the roof just after the 10AM downpour with a caulking gun and a supply of Henry's roof repair stuff.
Really can't tell if I got it until the next BIG rain.
Cross your toes and wish me luck...
It's thundering out here, ACAGuy. Maybe wait til there's no chance of lightening before you go up on the roof.
#A Christ has returned for the second coming.
#B You just came to after passing out from a stunning love making session.
#C Could be lightening.
Oh my, sorry to hear that. Several people I talked to today said they never remember it raining as hard as it did last night...
I was on the roof at 10:30am, and again caulked more stuff and finished at 6pm.
I'm good to go, just hope I got what I needed to.
Well, I know it wasnt the first two!
