In Between Rainstorms

***The view from the top of Diana Road on the East side. I love how there’s so many tress it’s hard to tell there’s a town of population more than 40,000 between here and El Toro across the way***

I’m glad to be able to say this for the first time in many months. Yesterday I went for a ride in between rainstorms. I love how clear the sky gets. The picture is my reward after a tough climb up Diana. Today the second storm hit hard, we’ve gotten almost 1 1/2 inches of rain at my house with more still coming. Some north bay towns got over a foot! Unfortunately they went straight from famine (drought) to feast (flooding). After leaving us the storm will head to the Sierras where it will hopefully dump lots of snow, which will provide lots of water in the spring. It’s great getting this much rain this early, I hope it bodes well for a long wet season to help with our drought.

  Thanks! That turned out to be the calm before the storm. We got over 4 inches of rain and 50 mph gusts the next couple of days after this. It’s back to being sunny. We need several more big storms like this to catch up on water.
