A rare summer rainstorm. Now I can take "water the garden" off my "to-do" list! :D

2. In July!?!
Edited on Wed Jul-30-03 12:08 PM by pmbryant
Wow! That is truly freaky!

I lived in the LA area for 6 years. We got a 'trace' of rain one July and it broke the rainfall record for the month at the time.

:bounce:

7. WOW, maybe LA will get some then, I saw that storm on the radar
and didn't think it would get THERE, I thought it was heading south.

We had some rain on Monday night that was a surprize.

VERY unusual weather for So Cal!

16. Just goes to show...sometimes procrastination works!
If you let a problem sit long enough, sometimes it ceases to be a problem! :D

18. It feels like it will rain here in Ventura County, hope it does!
That would be so cool. I love thunder & lightning, and being a California transplant from south Florida, I still miss it.

21. Me too. I was beginning to resent my yard because
it was getting too needy begging me to water it all the time. :-)

We got the same thunderstorm earlier this morning and it scared poor puddy tat out of his fur. It was his very first lightening and thunder storm.

Do enjoy the rain. I always loved the LA basin after a rain storm when the air was clean and fresh.

22. We had a THUNDERSTORM!
on the central coast! We never have thunderstorms here! Well, OK, I think this is the 4th or 5th in the decade+ I've been here. And a "thunderstorm" here is a couple flashes of lightning, and a couple thunders, and that's it.

But I don't think I've ever seen it rain in July.

You should know, it's because I washed my car.

26. According to reports, it's the Bay Area that's really getting whacked
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/gate/a/2003/07/30/weather1.DTL

Some Bay Area residents were delighted and others unpleasantly startled early this morning when thunder rattled windows and lighting lit up the skies.

The sky show began at about 2:30 a.m. and lasted for roughly an hour, affecting mostly the East Bay and San Francisco, according to meteorologist Will Pi of the National Weather Service.

I do hope that Mr. Pi has a sibling who is a mathematician... :-)

Hoo boy. Cali with year-round rain AND, if we don't get it together, a Repuke governor. Reminds me of those opening scenes in "Blade Runner" where it was pouring all the time in L.A. and those loudspeakers kept blaring "Come to a better life in the Off-World Colonies..."!

Then again, even the sacred 'aina itself got whacked last Saturday! Good thing Bush* told me that global warming was just a myth, or I'd be worried... </sarcasm>
