Can you Ping this one out? Thanks. Lots of folks won;t be thrilled to see it but... I have to go empty my rain guage. It is almost full from the first salvo of storms. That's 5 inches which for this location is a lot!!
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Surf's up! Kowabunga dooooodes! We actually got a tenth of an inch of that last momma out in the Salton Sea area; better a little than none, I guess. Great satellite shot, BTW!!

"STRONG WIND"...great. I dont think my home has recovered from the 80 MPH winds from the last storm. If I wanted to endure hurricane/blizzards I would have stayed in Wyoming.
And if any environmentalist wacko drones on about a freakin' drought, I'm going to slap 'em!

Just had to cut down my large tree in my front yard due to spliting of the trunk by the wind last week. Time for pay back.
