Rain last night at Disneyland. Partly cloudy now. Looks like no one will get wet on the red carpet at the Kodak later.

TJ is flooded in spots. I just got back from a morning round trip to San Diego. The border highway eastbound was closed as of noon because it's flooded. Take second street to the border until well after the rain stops.

Second St was flooded in one spot too near the border but a detour through a parking lot gets around that.

Of course Tecate is the crossing to use, stay away from San Ysidro - please and thank you. :spingrin:

The storm formed over the mountains about San Ignacio but started moving south toward Santa Rosalia in force. Enough so that we came back to port early and you could see a solid wall of rain extending all the way from about San Ignacio clear out east of Punta Prieta in the ocean. It rained in San Bruno about 1/2 inch which just settled the dust and everything smells really wonderful. Makes for a great lazy Sunday afternoon.

bad day to have to fly. i'd stay on the ground unless i was up for a bumby ride and having to shoot IFR approaches in SOCAL and AZ today.


I haven't heard any planes for many hours, Mike. Still no rain but very windy.
I think they are sitting it out because of weather north of here. Maybe Don Johnson can benefit.:yes:

We drove from San Felipe to the crossing in Tecate Saturday afternoon. When we reached the top off the highest point, as soon as we started down the weather was completely different with the rain mix of light to heavy. From there to Carlsbad was pretty stormy. Headed out from Carlsbad this morning at 5am on 5 North and barely got the tail end of light rain into clear weather by central Calif.

New rain gauge works I see. I'll be depending on you for accurate reports. Most of these other guys around here just look in their wheelbarrows. :lol:

Fandango, there is a lot of water running down the main street and drains from upper La Jolla and ;there is a small lake by the guard shack by the road. I am sure there is a lot of water in the lower part of La Jolla, but I did not go down to look.

Yes Dennis, we can thank Russ for recommending the Davis Vantage Vue, I think it is pretty accurate.
