Yesterday was this gorgeous rainbow
Full side to side and a double!
And the...
UH OH
Looks like my kiddos and I are both in for some
"Weather" with a capital W.
Constant boomies, and alerts on radio,
tv and phones.
Here in Vegas many of the houseless
live in massive storm drains and the local
emergency folks have been trying to move them
and all their belongings ( including furniture etc)
out of there as quickly
as possible so that their belongings
don't wash out and block
small drains. Teams have been going all
over the city clearing drains of debris,
as much as they can.
Even a light sustained rain here can cause serious
flooding, and foolish tourists and idiot locals
do NOT heed warnings and have to be rescued
or worse.
When I first moved here in the 70's, it was common
for many of the parking garages to flood entirely,
and even grand hotels to have dripping water
during storms. All the streets flooded
but decades of building water retention basins
solved a good bit. The basins were used as parks and
soccer fields. Win Win
The LA folks are also worried about high winds
and mud slides. My neighbor has a dangerous,
nearly dead, pine tree that concerns me.
It could take off the front of my house.
We shall see.
Hopefully the concern is a reaction to the horrors
of HI and BC.
Let's see what all the climate deniers
have to say about a tropical storm almost in Vegas?
Although it will no longer be a tropical here, but it
will be the first to hit CA since 1939.
I tried unsuccessfully to load a video of Walter
on here, but it is on my IG if you love him.
Stay safe - and Be prepared,
not just when emergencies loom,
but always, every day.

Hope you come through it unscathed! You're to be soaking wet and we're bone dry and burning up... no happy mediums it seems. Thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteTake care, hugs and hope you stay dry and no trees fall your way. We are safe from BC fires, but breathing the smoke here.
