Thunder, lightning, rain! (1 Viewer)

Woke up at 3 am to flashes of lightening. With my blinds open I had a gorg view backdrop to the trees. After a 100 degree day it now feels like I'm in Florida! Ac is on early! Any other Bay Area folks see this show?

 
Started at 0330 in the North Bay, finally fell back a sleep at 7ish. Then it came in for round 2 and woke me up at 9. Supposed to be like this til noon, hoping no significant fires get started. Lost power in sections of my town already but crossing my fingers I keep power. Hopefully @SFBayDuck kept power on his side of town.

Alert is until tomorrow at 11 am. Stay indoors. Hopefully pge doesn't do power cut offs in this heat for us all!

 
It's raining over here in Russian Hill/North Beach now. Definitely feeling like we are Florida or Chicago this weekend.

Same here in mill valley in the north bay. Super high winds when we had the whole house wide open to try to cool off through the night (no one has AC in Mill Valley since you only need it less than a dozen times a year at most), the window shade start banging into the window frame as the high winds really had the house breathing. Had to get out of bed and close down almost all of the windows to just a crack, and then listen to the high speed winds whipping thru the valley. Kept me up for at least another hour. 

it  was nice to hear the rare summer thunderstorm though and the heavy rain after such a hot, dry few days. but we did lose power for around 2 hours after a lighting flash, immediately loud thunder clap and then the power went out. Was good to get a PG&E text acknowledging the outage, said they’d have it back on by 2pm, and it was on just before 1. Nice.

ha! I'm from NY so I totally get how this weather is "normal" for other parts of the country. I've been in CA for 25 years now and you get used to the last rain being in May-ish, the dry ALL summer, and then the first rain of the fall around Oct-ish. So a summer thunderstorn is definitely an odd occurrence, but very welcome  one for east coasters like my wife and I since it reminds us of growing up back east.

also, hot nights are not something that happen much at all in the Bay Area (especially in SF & Southern Marin), so that's another "home sick" memory when it's above 70 degrees at 9pm. It's usually in the 60s by then and then drops to an amazingly comfortable 50s through the night. All summer. Best sleeping weather ever! :)

Yeah...just spoke to my mom in Sausalito who was telling me about the thunderstorms.

So bizarre. I don't think I ever saw one in the 25 years I grew up out there. Even put it in the "things they do in movies that are BS"  type thread a while back. But I do love them in NY

Didn’t get out of bed to see the show, but I definitely woke up and actually saw a flash through closed eyelids at one point. Morning walk with the dog felt like I was in Florida, showers off and on and dripping with humidity between. From 105 and dry to 95 and thunderstorms in a few hours, so strange. 

No power outages for us yet, but looks like rolling blackouts could happen throughout the state this week. I did finally unpack and set up the generator we bought after the 6-day outage last fire season, so we’re ready to at least keep the fridge, router, a tv, and a few fans running. 
 

 
Cloud cover in place, wind starting to pick up... they say a repeat of last night in places. Got the blinds open in case!

There aren't many areas that aren't nice in the bay area in terms of views. SF is experiencing a mass exodus. Rent here has fallen a bit. I've been here since 92. First in Palo Alto then Sunnyvale then Mountain View and now Fremont. So many changes. I've never had a commute so I can't imagine how people do long commutes.
