In the 44 years (my entire life) I have lived in Sunny Southern California, I have never seen weather like this.... I live in a part of the state that if there are a few sprinkles on the ground the news declares it an emergency and the headlines read "Storm Watch"...
Last week we were warned of severe weather conditions - and like most Southern Californians - I chose to not pay attention - due to the past drama - how many times can a person here "Storm Watch" only to see my lawn get a few drops??? Well, I should have listened.... Not only are we having cloud bursts like I have never seen or heard before - we are having tornadoes - serious Dorthy go get your ruby shoes tornadoes.
Several schools in our area were on lock down due to the tornado watch - this is so NOT California!!!
The other day - I was in the backyard in the pouring rain sweeping out the drains because debris had clogged them and my backyard was becoming a lake... Thankfully - the mission was a success but my feet stayed cold for hours afterwards..... Note to self - Do not wear flip flops in the rain.....
Huntington Beach Pier - I eat at that restaurant often.
My sister, Debbie took this around the corner from her home.
This is very close to my home.... Maybe I should move to Kansas?
