We Had A Storm!


Hmmm! If we hadn't been in Paris this fall, we might not have recognized this stuff -- RAIN!

The weather forecast called for a "monster" storm and we were skeptical.

It was suppossed to start on Thursday and continue right through Monday, maybe Tuesday. But Thursday came and went, nothing. Friday morning was cloudy, no rain. We left Manhattan Beach and headed to Carlsbad for a family activity. Missed the rain on the drive down.

We had some rain and wind in San Diego, nothing serious. We drove home on Saturday late afternoon and had a few sprinkles. By this time, we were convinced that this was another storm that was blown completely out of proportion by all the TV weather guys who just want something to talk about.

That is, until we pulled into the driveway. Our huge, 25 year old bougainvillea had blown over and was completely blocking the driveway.

So, our apologies to the weather guys. There was plenty of storm for us.
