  • Response time is critical. Maybe keep a watch going and cover as much area as possible? Pilots could fly spotter sorties?

  • Driving the backroad between San Lucas and San Ardo got about six drops of precipitation on the windshield Sunday afternoon. As much as I love a good thunderstorm I found myself praying for none unless there was a downpour to go with it. It was a beautiful day and night with all of those clouds.
