What's your weather like?

[Dan M.]

Well, down on the coastal plain in Orange County, Hilary pretty much turned out to be a nothing burger. The damage you might see in the news is all in the hills and canyons and out in the desert, far from us. We got 2" or 3" of rain spread throughout the day so it had plenty of time to run off without flooding. The wind wasn't much where we were either. We had worse storms last winter. And the earthquake epicenter was 100 miles from us. We just felt a wiggly little nudge. Thank you all for your concern.

Goodness an earthquake too! and now the awful floods - are y'all safe?

This is only the 3rd time since they've been keeping records that a hurricane has held together long enough to reach Southern California. The last one was in 1939 (lots of damage!), and before that was 1885. It will "only" be a tropical storm when it gets here, but so were the last two.

The storm was shown on our news channels here in the UK, tough conditions

[Dan M.]

scary stuff.
DAN!!!! oh my I've been watching out your way - gonna be a rough night Sunday! Take care & keep us posted.

We are due even more rain and high winds over the next few days

[4AMNTN]

We've had several severe thunderstorms -- today is beautiful low 80's ahhhhhhh what a relief here in the South.

We were in a situation a few weeks ago where we "NEEDED" some rain. Unfortunately once it starts in the north of England it doesn't know when to give up.

[4AMNTN]

we're getting some needed rain. I just hope it stops in time to dry out for our fence repair going on next week.... but if not yea for the rain

[YB]

Fingers crossed you are soon back to normal and on the golf course, Gis

Dry and sunny day here, until around 4pm when the heavens opened!

[Gismo]

GIS ... the ol trash bag trick?Saran Wrap? -- any news on the shoulder?

Yep, trash bag technique used when showering, pain in the proverbial, especially when removing the tape afterwords.
MRI apparently showed no problems in the neck area, so, had x-rays this week and will get the results soon

[4AMNTN]

Dan! good to see you back & hope you had a blast! Beautiful I'm sure -- it's really hot here heat index & real feels have been over 110 for a few weeks.

We had a mix of weather on our trip, some downpours and rain here and there, with lightning and thunder, but mostly hot!

[Gismo]

We seem to be getting rain every day at the moment, so, trying to walk the dogs between showers and trying to keep my hand cast dry isn't easy

[YB]

As I said elsewhere we have been away for a few days, well six. Weather has been mainly good, dry, sunny, around 70 degrees. Except Wednesday when it rained very heavy.
