Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Geeze, this storm got to my area at 3:30 this morning with lightning, an unusual occurance around here, and lots of rain. Rain! In July! 5 hours later and it's still coming down with thunder in the distance. Got more now than the last rain season, maybe two. It has settled into the kind of steady rain we really like to see in January....this may impact agriculture, grapes, in a negative way. Lighting srikes around me, took out a transformer to my neighbors place, another friend has no power, lightning hit his transformer and the pole caught fire. Not getting on the road today, not sure Californians remember how to drive in this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Three quarters of an inch in Fresno last night... twenty miles north where I am drier'n a popcorn f*rt. I stood out in my front yard last night, under the stars, watching the light[ning] show to the south. I felt like I was the 25th kid in the Kindergarten class when someone passed out two dozen cupcakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It has been monsoon season here in Ohio for the entire summer. I had planned on getting home from work to hopefully, just hopefully mow. I had to pull over with most of the other sane drivers on the highway and wait out a thunderstorm. We've had two more since I've been home.

Eamon Chute Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We had 20 minutes of a torrential downpour yesterday at about 1100 hours here in Pacifica. Thunder and lightening included for free! My poor, distressed, lawn was very thankful. Unfortunately, not enough rain to keep the dirtbags off the streets however. EC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Already over 80 here. 56% humidity. I know that to many of you that seems kinda dry. But for CA in mid-July, that's muggy. Plus, it didn't even get down to 65 last night. Again, normal for many of you, but in coastal California, unusual to stay that warm at night. Usually in the mid-50s or lower. Very odd weather. 80.6 °F Feels Like 81.9 °F 0.0mph Wind from WSW Gusts 1.0 mph Dew Point: 63 °F Humidity: 55% Precip Rate: 0 in/hr Precip Accum: 0 in Pressure: 29.91 in UV: 3 Solar: -- Soil Moisture: -- Soil Temp: -- Leaf Wetness: -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
