Thanks, Billy. We're gonna be fine, but some of our neighbors may wind up needing some help.

Or it might all be news hype. I'll let you know on Tuesday. :D

Watching from the San Francisco Bay Area. It sounds like you've got things covered. Good on you to hang in for the neighbors. I've done that many times through my years. Good karma. Stay safe, and dry.

The rain started at about 2AM, and it's just now (5:45AM) starting to get heavy.

I'm stoked that the rain came before the thunderstorms so we won't have a forest fire variable in the mix.

Not yet. At this point, me and Pee Pee Eye are enjoying a mellow Sunday morning while Mrs. S. does churchy things.

*edit* The wind is picking up and the neighborhood dogs are getting borky, so it might get a bit spicy soon.

I find it interesting that dogs and cats pick up on stuff that humans don't. Story from my childhood: Summer day in Childress, TX. hot and sunny. About mid-afternoon our cat started moving her kittens under the house into the crawl space. We thought she had lost her mind. About four hours later a tornado on the ground went through the vacant lot between our house and the neighbor's house. When domesticated animals start acting froggy I listen to them.

So far, just rain. Still waiting for the winds to arrive later.

We’re doing about an inch of rain an hour right now in Big Bear.

Billy - Pee Pee Eye would not get out of my face the night before I collapsed @ work from stress and too much caffeination a few years back. Regaining consciousness with everyone in my company gathered around me asking who the president was…it was weird.

I quit drinking Monster energy drinks that day.

Dogs are awesome. Pee Pee Eye earned himself a service dog certification. I have a prescription to take him anywhere.

Dr. Eye, dressed in his finest:

Pee Pee Eye is looking quite handsome!!!

Sunny day up here in the Bay Area. Relatives in Laguna Beach are getting mild rain. Stay safe in the mountains.
