Southern California Gets Pounded with Storms
Southern California Gets Pounded with Storms
Seriously, is this Southern California? The weather has been unusual and extremely wet and treacherous over the last few days. The weathermen and news media have been fairly accurate about predicting the storms. Yesterday was unbelievable. It started raining in Newport Beach at about 1:00 pm and then the rain became torrential. I was in a meeting in the Prudential office, and my colleague commented that the rain was going side ways! I turned to look, and it was incredible!
As it turns out, there were water spouts, and reports of tornadoes in the Orange County waters. There was incredible damage to buildings in Costa Mesa including Play it Again Sports on Harbor Boulevard – the windows were blown out. Boats were overturned in Huntington Harbor, and the streets flooded in Long Beach and parts of Costa Mesa. Roofs were ripped off buildings, and trees toppled. The ground is so saturated that trees are falling down, and with the winds. Today, I was at a home inspection, and on the way home I had to navigate around a fallen tree in Newport Coast right off San Joaquin by Saint Laurent. There were pine needles in the mirror.
Cars are stalling as the drivers attempt to drive through water that is way too deep!!! And the power is surging, as I noticed my computer was off and all the clocks were flashing!
It is supposed to rain from now Wednesday to Friday non-stop.
Yesterday after all that crazy weather, there was some beauty to it, as the wind blew away the clouds and as a result of the moisture in the air, a beautiful rainbow appeared.
More pictures will be posted of the surf and wind.
But, for now, be safe, and don’t try and drive through that water which is way too deep!
