Whew! Tornadoes in Southern California? What will they think of next?
Just saw pics of an actual one that did touch down right off the coast, in Huntington Harbour. Threw some boats around, but didn’t hurt anyone, thankfully.
Everyone here is just bracing for more wet weather, and discussing how stunned they were to hear the words “tornado warning” yesterday. We don’t even know what to do with that.
We have a bit of a reprieve now — today is supposed to have more warnings (hurricanes???). Tomorrow is supposed to be the worst of it.
Wish us luck!

Hi Laurie –
I happened to be home yesterday and saw news footage of the area right after it happened. Needless to say, I was transfixed by what I saw. We’re simply not used to that here in (typically) sunny Cali. Orange County was hit much harder than us here in the IE, but I confess I was hoping to see some wild weather here!!
Stay safe!
I know — crazy, right, Jeanne??? You just come back to California and get drenched with a crazy storm! (Hope you’re loving being back, by the way. Getting settled in?)
Today (Thursday) is supposed to be the worst of it, so we’ll just stand by and see what happens.
I gotta say that I am loving this weather! I know you aren’t used to all that rain, but I think you can keep it! We had record warm weather here in Washington yesterday!!
So our warm weather is in Washington with you, Debi???
Yeah, it has been pretty great here lately. We aren’t hitting 70 degrees like you might have, but 60 and sunny is great for us this time of year! It is weird seeing people in shorts in January here and to not have to wear a coat. I love not having my car iced over too – I hope it stays! My husband on the other hand is really bummed out because the snowmobiling isn’t what it normally is. He usually goes every weekend and so far he has only gone about 4 or 5 times.
