Big Storm in California
Well, looks like Austin is all ready to go jump in the puddles today. :) This weather is crazy! Downed trees (one specifically laying in our front lawn), sideways wind and rain and lots of flooding on the street.
This is Manhattan Beach Pier at the start of the storm this morning around 8:30am. The streets were quiet, shops were not busy and EVERYONE was hitting the breaks. The only people out were the guys surfing. (see pic below)
The weather is calling all week for rain and 20 foot surf. Meaning the waves will hit as high as the pier in this picture.
This is the calm before the storm. We're trying to imagine waves coming up 20 feet high.
This is just the beginning.. but the good thing is, we don't live on the Ocean. Some of the homes walk right out to the beach. Those folks will probably need to evacuate!
The Surfers. Aren't they Crazy?
Our front yard around 12pm today.
AND.. it was sunny and beautiful by 4pm. Very strange weather for CA!
