Storming!

Goodness, it is blustering out there! Winter is here with a vengeance. Almost shifted lanes involuntarily while commuting on the San Mateo bridge! Be careful of falling trees and branches too!

 

Yea, it's crazy outside.
Dreading the drive home later.

 

Looks like a hurricane in my area. The rain is pouring hard.

 

Only two weeks ago working outside was something I could brag about and those I told were almost envious. Today, not so much.

 

Two soaking wet boxes left in our closed patio!

 

Yikes.
I was in Japan last week when the typhoon went through. It was bizarre seeing all the trains off schedule.

 

actually weather reports mentioned that this weather is a result of that typhoon

The Santa Cruz mountains (see Mount Umunhum) has had 10.98 inches of rain within the last 24 hours!

 

i was driving all around the Bay Area today in this soup. Couldn't hardly see at all!

 

Damn, it's seriously pouring...

 

stopped raining

 

Now it's down here. This is what we call a "Hawaii car wash."

 

yes...if it wasn't for the rain, my car would have stayed dirty.

 

Lucky. You guys have clean rain.
Over here in the Valley of the Dirt People, the rain just puts more dirt on my car.

 

I. Hate. Rain.

 

The sun is out in Los Gatos! Let's see how long this lasts.

 

Gotta love it - we need a few days of bad weather to at least keep us humble

 

you guys complain about rain...so funny.

try 2 feet of snow over the course of a day or two and let me know how much you like rain

 

what is snow? please educate me. i can't imagine anything worse than the rain we get here. this rain makes me want to move to somewhere with good weather

 

Doesn't LA have good weather?
Oh wait, they just had a tornado warning!

 

It's strange how the storm is really heavy in the am then virtually stops by about 2 everyday. It was hailing down in San Jose.

 

Santa Clara county just had a tornado warning...

 

Guess we did too!

 

it's been crazy the last two nights/early mornings. i've been giving myself a crash course in html the last two days, so have been up late.

the wind and rain were relentless both nights here in shallow alto. the majority of stanford campus had no electricity from 5:30am to 9:30am on tuesday morning. i saw the results of four slow speed crashes on camino real in the last couple of days. in my four years of CA residency, it seems that many californians just cannot drive competently in the rain. it's easy slow down in curves; slow down in general.

I find crazy thunderstorms to be inspirational. I made a Rainy Day theme for my blog in honor of the rain.
