Chilly, raining hard in San Diego ... photo updated...odd timing

Get ready for a wet, cold one...hope it will help in Baja as well- and here's the view from my patio this morning.

.... the skies opened and the rains fell hardest about the same time this happened...

Same thing in Orange County

David K - 5-8-2015 at 08:30 AM

How can it be... we are in the worst drought of the century!! ?? LOL

It started here (north SD county) at midnight, came down so hard it woke me about 2-3 am... and is still raining with some heavy stuff, as of 8:30am.

(Oh, and it 'never' rains in May in Southern California)!

Nature bats last!

One rain and there is no drought. Brilliant.

DianaT - 5-8-2015 at 09:35 AM

Yesterday before the storm, the snow pack on Mt. Whitney as seem from Whitney Portal

But now that it snowed last night, all should be well and all the reservoirs will be overflowing. No more drought. No need for the state to continue with water restrictions. :rolleyes:

You need to run for office...you do the "what I said" part very well. You could be on Faux news.

DianaT - 5-8-2015 at 09:55 AM

And there was some water in the creek before the storm, so I am sure there is now a torrent headed toward Los Angeles after this storm!

Really happy for the storm and hope they keep coming. Previous droughts in California were not as serious partly because there were not close to 40 million people in the state using water.

Thanks Ken. One I used the bridge rail, but the other two I managed to hold real still and didn't breath. I love that lens :biggrin:

Bring on more rain and snow! Can't see the mountains right now, and that is a good thing!

Not sure how you can possibly mis-read what I typed? My comment was that the people I was responding to are the ones who are lovers of BIG government, and that THEY must be in favor of controls, taxes, less freedom. They sure don't seem to trust God or Nature or know how to live withing the limits that are visible and naturally made? They claim man is greater than God/Nature, that man can change the climate's direction by becoming poorer (taxed)???!!! They also claim the sea levels are dangerously rising, yet in the past 50 years, we all can still go to the same places at high tide and have dry feet! This is the 'Chicken Little' drama, except instead of the sky falling, it is the oceans are rising.

Can anyone accept that change in Nature is normal and natural... man is not greater than the natural forces. To give government or politicians that much power over a made-up fear is just surrendering your freedom (and intelligence).

Chuckie,
Thanks for trusting my professional opinion....but sometimes you just need to accept some things:

No, Its rain....

DianaT - 5-8-2015 at 12:21 PM

It is raining here again and being in the rain shadow, we don't get as much! Still can't see up the mountain and that is a good thing!

Ken, I think I am going to buy that other lens also. Have to quit talking to you. :biggrin:

See you the next time through.

wessongroup - 5-8-2015 at 12:26 PM

DianaT ... only wish you could attach the "smell" ... boy do I miss that ...

Started falling around 10:30 pm ... last night here

Moderate for a while ... then off and on most of the night ... just overcast with a little "spitting" now and then .. and cool

Last week was above 90º most of the week ...

It has stopped raining in San Diego ... can't wait to see what comments are posted now...

rts551 - 5-8-2015 at 01:21 PM

God got mad at us and made it quit raining? Maybe just to show us we can not control it and there is really no drought?

Pompano - 5-8-2015 at 01:29 PM

Once you get away from the city skylines, you can see the WALL much better...

We are watching several potential tornadoes...caused by the demopublicans ......wish they wouldn't do that....DK spews nonsense to feel important....

Don't mind me. Just here to watch. Carry on.

oh yeah, rain.

No Chuckie, it not at all about feelings.

I only wish to open the closed minds of those who blindly believe anything told to them by big government politicians.

Question the nonsense. Saying the sea levels is rising dangerously when we can see it isn't, and saying man's activities change the climate (when the climate has changed without man many times) is nonsense.

Now, that all is my opinion (based on scientific fact and history)... and if you read my posts as much as it seems you do, then please read what I am replying to. I don't bring up the truth about this climate change hoax unless someone mentions it first. So my opinion is a reply... for 'equal time'. Unless you 'feel' Baja Nomad should only have liberal philosophy and no balance with facts?

All my threads on Nomad are about Baja travel, Baja history, Baja people. If nobody posts mis-information, then I am not compelled to provide correct information. Baja Nomad is a single most useful source of Baja information, in the world! It is only useful if the information is correct.

I believe this started with the 3rd post. unless of course saying it rains is a spark. While you believe you are the one carrying the truth burden, lets try this.

Although the climate naturally changes, man made influences are accelerating those changes. What data and history do you have that says that is not true?

Your last paragraph makes no sense. There are lots of sources of information out there. Certainly your threads are not the most important sources of information.

Time to climb down off our soapbox.

David K - 5-8-2015 at 06:53 PM

Yes, the third post was humor... I guess only us on the right have a sense of humor? The post said it's raining... and I said how can that be, then went on to report the rain I got so far.
Lighten up... and allow me to have a little fun here without you turning it into a political debate.

wessongroup - 5-8-2015 at 06:59 PM

Watch the "humor" thing on real estate too ... :biggrin:

I am sorry to interrupt this thread but is it still raining in San Diego, that is what this thread is about or am I wrong and out of line here? :biggrin:

Whale-ista - 5-8-2015 at 07:33 PM

Sprinkling at 7:33.

Funny- I was always told talking about the weather was safer than, say....sex, politics or religion.

Oh well... times change.

bajacamper - 5-8-2015 at 07:39 PM

Rain is a good thing, right? I think so, at least until it is posted about on this site, but God forbid DK should comment because then the four amigos come out blazing away. I have seen this kind of dumping on people on other boards and nothing good ever comes of it. This board ain't like it usta was. A few years ago there were many, many, people here who went out of their way to help anyone who needed help or guidance on all things Baja. While there are still people willing to help, you four added very little on this thread.

O Boy, here is a new target for you, so flame away and give DK a break. He might be actually trying to help someone with a Baja question.

rts551 - 5-8-2015 at 08:14 PM

I don't think DK needs any help posting his 10 posts per day. But you on the other hand...the rain effect you some how? Maybe you can help him with his hypothesis that the only change is natural change?

DianaT - 5-8-2015 at 08:49 PM

And the rain settled down this evening.

May be more rain tomorrow, we hope.

rts551 - 5-8-2015 at 08:56 PM

a little snow up there as well. San Dingo may get water after all.

CaboMagic - 5-8-2015 at 10:04 PM

... so glad Whale-ista to view <most> of your posted threads .. always interesting

ugh .... using the cool powers (!!) of skipping and viewing

Diana AWESOME love your photos ..
right on k,b,r

raindrops keep falling :bounce:

bajacamper - 5-9-2015 at 08:28 AM

Geez, post 11 and be happy.

David K - 5-9-2015 at 08:54 AM

If I just spent my time on Nomad following one person here, and posting how bad or wrong he, over and over, counting his daily posts, that would be okay???
:lol:

Sorry, make that some of you people, not all you people

Howard - 5-9-2015 at 09:16 AM

I am getting sick and tired of all you unhappy people who throw such negativity to posts that are meant to learn and teach.

Please stick to the subject matter and take your venom somewhere else. You remind me of children name calling in the sand box.

Have you nothing better to do than b-tch and complain and throw rocks? If you have nothing to contribute, good or bad to the subject matter, just go away.

Please, take it elsewhere so this web site does not continue it's downward spiral.

Thank you,
Howard

San Diego's 'other weather'.

2011 - Ward Road Closure..but there's always some doubters... :rolleyes:

At least it slows down the traffic.

Just got back from Mt Laguna. There was 2 inches on the ground but melting fast.
