[trioderob]

very strong and unusual for the area winds will hit central and southern Cali over the next 24 hours.

any unsecured potted plants or green house structures may be damaged by sustained winds over 50 mph

wind gusts will be hurricane force

I'll believe that when I see it (In North Park at least)...

[Jim in Los Altos]

We're right in the thick of this weather system right now (11:30 AM) and are experiencing torrential rains but the wind forecast has not materialized. We had a few gusts to maybe 25 mph but it's completely calm now and dumping huge amounts of rain.

The weather event is called the Pineapple Express...check out the link I posted in the weather thread.

Peter, Most of us on the West coast are familiar with that term and what it means as far as rainfall amounts. We're getting hammered with heavy rain in the SF Bay Area right now and it's been going on for hours and will likely continue for several more. Flash flood watches and warnings are posted for our area. It's crazy and, thankfully, the winds are nonexistent.

100,000's without power now

[Hammer]

Oh great...here goes. At least this will help lessen the drought.

[Gonzer]

So, what does the weather in the second largest city in Columbia, South America have to do with us?

Really now, Cal-i-for-nia ain't that hard to spell out.

California... knows how to party

California... knows how to party

In the citaaay of L.A.

In the citaaay of good ol' Watts

In the citaaay, the city of Compton

We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!

[Verse 1: Dr. Dre]

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west

A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness

The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest

Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex

We in that sunshine state where that bomb ass hemp be

The state where ya never find a dance floor empty

And pimps be on a mission for them greens

Lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends

I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunes

Ever since honeys was wearin sassoon

Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me

Diamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace

It's all good, from Diego to tha Bay

Your city is tha bomb if your city makin pay

Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way

Dre puttin it down for

Californ-I-a

[Verse 2: 2Pac]

Out on bail fresh outta jail, California dreamin

Soon as I stepped on the scene, I'm hearin hoochies screamin

Fiendin for money and alcohol

The life of a west side playa where cowards die and it's all ball

Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die

In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies (that's right)

Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do

Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews

Famous cause we program worldwide

Let'em recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans

Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west side

So you know the row won't bow down to no man

Say what you say

But give me that bomb beat from Dre

Let me serenade the streets of L.A.

From Oakland to Sacktown

The Bay Area and back down

Cali is where they put they mack down

Give me love!

[John Case]

Like Jim, lots of rain but not much in wind disturbance........My Koi pond has risen 4 inches since the initial rain. This does not mean we have had 4 inches of rain, but a goodly part of it.

You da Man Rob!

[Ben in Norcal]

I was glad the high winds had not materialized when landing at SFO last night! Awesome to see so much rain dumped!

[Brett in Mission Viejo]

Main front edge squall has passed and main front is passing now.......no wind gusts at all...not much of any wind. Nice soaking though

[yachtingone]

Some wind last night. A bit strong but short lived. Calm now, the garden still looks great. I was expecting this storm to trash my garden! Most every Nov. my garden gets trashed by Santa Ana winds. This could be 2 years in a row that my garden looks great with out damaging winds??? Also my deciduous are still holding leaves like last winter. they usually drop their leaves by now. Last winter they never defoliated!!!

[DoomsDave]

Here comes the rain again

Falling on the streets of downtown La La

Falling like diminished expectations . . . .

Looks like a good soaker.

Starting early, hope it keeps up.

And, no wind, except after the Lentil Soup of Doom

[KennyRE317]

just checked the garden and everything looks pretty good. a couple top heavy broms tipped over, a 6' tall banana plant in a 2gal bucket tipped and fell on my D.leptocheilos but it looks okay

[Jim in Los Altos]

Over five inches of the wet stuff during that 24 hour drenching and it's raining hard again! Thankfully, the nasty predicted winds didn't develop, here at least.

[Josh-O]

it blew like a mother (expletive) here this morning in San Diego with 1.9" of rain. trees in my hood blew over from the stronger gusts.

[MattyB]

I was watching the radar and the high winds seemed to be isolated to scattered thunderstorms

[gsytch]

I just saw a video of an EF0 tornado over South LA. Small, but you can see the spinning debris. Odd.

[Moose]

it blew like a mother (expletive) here this morning in San Diego with 1.9" of rain. trees in my hood blew over from the stronger gusts.

Sounds like a typical South Florida summer afternoon.

[Hammer]

Here in Laguna Hills, not far from Brett in Mission Viejo, we got hammered with wind...no pun intended. I could hear it howling unfortunately so could my dog who ended keeping us up all night 'cause she was scared.

Not too much debris from the wind. That was nice. I think the rain was so heavy it forced debris to the ground before it had time to blow into my yard. Usually winds are bring a lot off the Euc on the city property behind my property line.
