August 18 Tropical Storm

[bubba]

We got Fay bearing down on us in South Florida today.We are all like deer in the headlights.It is interesting on this same day a Tropical Storm emerged from the Gulf of California and dumped 5.66 inches of rain out in Needles,California.I think that is more rain than they usually get in a year!

That was in 1906! Do you remember that one?

Bubba:

I've been watching weather in Tucson, Arizona. They have had a lot of rain!!! They're temps have been in the 90's which is cooler than average for them. Tucson has been getting their rain from the feeder bands of tropical low pressure systems orginating from within Mexico.

I keep an eye on the East Pacific storms. A few had paths that looked like they were going to head towards California.

The East Pacific is quiet for now.

I wonder if the East Pacific will pick up some storms this fall.

Bubba,

You come up with the most curious facts. So, have you always been a weather groupie, or is this a recent thing?

We had an El Nino in 1998 produce 7" in one day when I was living in Mission Viejo. I had to dig trenches from my backyard to the front because the water was starting to come into the house.

Deep into the sublime, as I journey towards the heart of darkness.
