So, one tree came down on the driveway but fell into the neighbor's field. The fence is smashed but the driveway is clear. I did clear a medium-small branch. We can get in and out which is good. Later, will check for other downed trees.

Greetings from NorCal. It's too dark to see any storm damage other than something that fell over on the deck that I would have thought was way too heavy to blow over. It's 53F with a light rain. Hoping the driveway is clear! Last night was wild.

@WestofMars My niece did a semester in Spain and she had a wonderful time. Of course we all worried, but it was a great life experience for her.

@ChristopherNoyesRoberts ah. Then I hope you went for it!

@ChristopherNoyesRoberts the danger of already flooded roads is pretty high. But I guess it depends if you’re in Northern California

Making good progress on rewriting this chapter.

@yadayadayada Same.

Greetings from NorCal. I have delicious purple tea this morning. About to get more. It's 47F, windy, and rainy. Doggo Charlotte is unmaking my bed to her liking. Doggo Jane on top of the covers along for the ride.

Greetings from NorCal. It's 41F and dark. I have delicious Lapsang Souchong tea. Today there's a wind advisory and tomorrow a huge storm. Be safe out there!

It’s raining. Of course it poured when I was bringing up the garbage cans. It’s cold too.

Greetings from NorCal. It is dark and 39F. Rain is in the forecast. Even though it didn't rain yesterday there was still water trickling through the creek. Have a great day everyone!

New Year's greetings from NorCal. It is dark and 42F. The elderly cat is annoyed at little doggo Jane burying under the covers. She keeps meowing and slapping the moving pile of bedding. My first cup of coffee of 2023 is excellent.

Greetings from NorCal. It's 53F and raining. Yesterday around 1:30 PM I thought I heard thunder. Later I went out with the dogs and saw that one of the huge oaks at the creek had come up by the roots, That's the sound I heard. The tree was over 60 years old.

There’s water running in the creek for the first time in years. Bad news is a large oak tree came down.

Greetings from NorCal. My son returns to Seattle today -- not via Southwest (who better be refunding me a chunk of change) I have tea. It's 56F and dark.

Rest in peace, Pelé. What a great one.

@EnochianEntropy Sending you wishes for his speedy recovery. Hugs and sympathies.
