Jim Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Three storms swept over Northern California, starting Friday afternoon. The first and last weren't much to write home about, but the middle one was nasty. Now I know that we're not talking about hurricanes like some of you GS'ers live with, but us California folks are used to wildfires and ground shaking. We get a little uncomfortable with 60 mph gusting to 75 mph winds and inches of rain per hour. Power was off for 20 hours, internet for 28, trees down and some flooding. AFAIK, no loss of life and minimal damage given the conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Z Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Glad you made it through. I've been thinking about you all in California. This hasn't been a great weather year for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thank God you are ok. My son just returned from Ca. here to mild Baton Rouge, La. We had a few thing blow by in the past. And I know many prayers were sent this way. Thanks for that. In a funny way storms are a blast. The furry of the hurricane. You could stand outside in a protected area hear all the sounds of the trees crashing. The wind singing. Roofs coming off destruction at it's finest. I'm a roofing contractor.

Nottawayfer Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I was in the SF Bay Area last week. We came home Saturday unscathed by the weather other than the fact that the rain put a damper on our plans. We got to visit with some of my family though. It was a nice trip.
