hi kw and karin! I noticed you’d been missing Karin but this past week i was on after 8 or 9pm because of work myself! Right now it’s raining lightly no wind thank goodness! Yesterday was bad! Mom and Stepdad had to reattack the plastic covering to our front porch which the wind ripped off! We put it up to keep the porch dry since we only have screening on it no windows! Then one of our old garages metal roofing was ripped off so Step-dad with a roped tied around his waist and mom tied to the other climbed the ladder and nailed it back down almost being blown off twice! Tree limbs cracking and falling luckily only in the orchard so no damage to the houses!
I was working yesterday in Palo Alto! Hard driving rain very strong winds all day! Flooding in the parking lots! Power surges freaking the kids out! rumbling thunder, blibding white flashes of light as lightning struck flooded parts of the parking lot! One of our small trees more like a sapling really was standing straight when i got there! When I left at 5:30 it was leaning heavily vertically to the left!
Kids were freaking out! You could even hear the rain pounding on the roof and windows because we had slanted rain!
It was just bad! My brother in San Fran was at work and said you could see tree limbs and other items blowing by the store front and 2 stores down the windows blew out (luckily the building was empty it was being renivated) and he said the streets were dead!!
