Dust Blowing From California into Pacific
The 100 mph Santa Ana winds yesterday (Thursday) that blew from the desert across southern California were so strong that dessert sand and dust can be seen blowing from the coast over the Pacific.
More Flooding Plus a Tornado Risk in California
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
I live 3 miles from the coast south of LAX and our wind was coming from the west. We thought we'd lose our roof but it held. I remember a wind event like this in the 90's when we had gusts that broke our chained gate apart and sent it flying.
ReplyDeleteWe can do with out this. I'm waiting for cool weather to sit on us for a while and give me an excuse to buy a 1/2 cord of firewood.
