The storm is out of San Diego County now. We got maybe 2тАЭ of rain on the coast and 6тАЭ in our local mountains (elev. 4,000тАЩ) to our east. No flooding I know of other than in parts of Mission Beach (elev. 2тАЩ), and the locals probably didnтАЩt notice (too much beer on that beach). There was a power outage in our north county area--because some guy slid his car into a power pole. San Diegans are notorious for not being able to drive in the rain; we blame it on oil saturated roads because we donтАЩt get enough rain to keep it washed off. At my house we got one noticeable gust of wind in the mid afternoon, otherwise balmy. DidnтАЩt even whistle through the windows.
I feel cheated.
Now what am I going to do with all that bottled water and toilet paper? ЁЯджЁЯП╗тАНтЩВя╕П
Thank you for reporting, pilot Tom.
Thoughts of Gary & family and all TAFMers facing Hilary, no softy according to forecasts.
Seconding Linda's concern for the homeless - they need protection and care, ASAP!
Wishing for preparedness: Take Care, you all!
Thank you for the wishes, Fern. It will be a new experience for me.
GarySanDiego, hi, please keep in touch if you can. ЁЯМ┐
Well...that was just plain boring.

Yeah! And all the batteries I bought for the lanterns!! :-)
Report is we go 3.8 inches of rain here in west valley. I guess I won't be running the sprinklers for a couple weeks.
The storm was sort of the Indiana Jones of tropical storms - didn't live up to the hype.

To the cheated GarySanDiego, good to hear from you. Glad you and family are fine.
Here's a brief gust of friendship from NYC,

Glad you got to see it at its late summer best. This is just a minor set back. WeтАЩll be back in the sunshine business on Tuesday.
