10:45 pm – it is absolutely POURING down rain at the moment, and has been for at least 15 minutes. And with that, I am taking this tired, cold body to bed with a book. Good night all.
7:30 pm – the wind died down around 3:30 this afternoon, thank goodness. They were pretty knarly. I estimate gusts up around 100 mph, as the rain was horizontal during gusts. I received 2 inches for the storm, bringing the season total to 61.75 inches for the season. Respectable, but no where close to a record.
2:30 pm – heavy hail, heavy winds. Have received 1 inch, thus far. Rocking and rolling up here. The traffic hazard at Palo Colorado and Garrapata is a wire down, and PG&E is on their way.
1:20 pm – unknown traffic hazard at Palo Colorado and Garrapata

12:30 pm – rain picking up, and winds are gusting pretty high. Going outside is a bit dicey. Rain is almost but not quite, horizontal. Glad I filled up the gennie when I did! Of course, that didn’t prevent the wind from knocking over the shed AND the generator! Can’t run when it’s laying on its side!
10:00 am – High, gusty winds this morning, only 1/4 of an inch of rain, thus far. Winds woke me up at 4 am. NB lane, JSO of Ventana has a branch down, closed the one lane, and directing traffic, alternating SB/NB through the SB lane.
