Fire Watch is over, Storm Watch is on

Monday night, as I thought, I got 2 inches of rain. Tuesday night I received 2 and 1/2 inches of rain, but worse, the winds were pretty bad. As I thought, Plaskett was blocked. My neighbor and Rock Knocker got out early this morning and got it cleared. John started at the top, Rock Knocker started at the bottom, and they met in the middle at Turkey Flats where an entire tree toppled and blocked the road. Last night, I got a mere 1 inch, but more is on the way this morning.

I am in the process of changing over the links to the right, and I will also be uploading the photos for the header contest throughout the day. It won’t be made public until all 10 are up, hopefully by this afternoon.

Weather tomorrow for the Jade Festival is supposed to be clear, albeit cool, so dress in the usual Big Sur layers. I won’t be reporting live tomorrow, but perhaps on Saturday.

  • Big Sur thankfully made it through the fire season relatively unscathed Kate. Your coverage of fires was again amazing. I look forward to your weather reports as we enter the cool season.
