Storm report

We've gotten hammered here in Northern California by a powerful Pacific storm -- heavy rains, 70 mph wind gusts, etc. -- but the only damage at my house was one uprooted palm tree that looks like a goner and a board fence flapping like a gossip's tongue. The wind blew so hard that it blew over my propane barbecue grill, which weighs nearly a hundred pounds. Sheesh.

As I write this, we're in a lull. But they're saying snow may hit the foothills tonight or tomorrow. Most of the time, the weather here in Redding falls into two categories -- hot or wet. Apparently, once every five years or so, we get all our bad weather at once.

Back to hunkering in the bunker,
