Anyone experiencing Irene yet? She ' s-a-comin' up the Atlantic sea shore.
Boring pleasant weather here on the central coast of the O.C. 80F! When?
Grape tomatoes like weeds. Two crops of late corn for fun. Lemons, more lemons and a fig or three a day. The mega sunflowers are dropping their seeds to the delight of squirrels and the disgust of next door neighbor.

Remember Issac's storm.

We do not have such storm systems in Paradise.
If how the east coast treated the great Earthquake of Aug 11 this Hurricane will send them to the mid west to get out of its way.

"N.J. prepares for Hurricane Irene, for better or worse"
Bob3, and others please report.
The weather is so boring in Paradise. They keep threatening above 80F but barely deliver 78F. With the breeze, feels like 74F.
So please share your adjective full weather report. Adverbs too.
Anyone need grape tomatoes? Lemons? PM for arrangements, no shipping. Pick your own.
You know Moi, GOD yes that one will get you if you keep it up. We know you live on a fault and if you don't stop GOD will get even with you, if there is no god which I truly suspect that Fault will get you and that's real.
And Yes, for all of you on the east coast that had that major Earthquake yesterday and now face yet another disaster please after the storm passes check in with us so we wont worry and Moi can come out of his house and enjoy the perfect weather without feeling bad.

And I'll tell y'all, they damn near killed me at the MoM with their freaking AC and panicking over 75F weather!
Lord...I kid you not, I was wearing a hoodie in the sun, while Kristoff was sweating.
It was cold enough in River's house to hang meat up, and they were all snarky about how hot it was, while I was freezing to death with a sheet, a blanket, and spread on my bed!
Seriously, when the ambient temperature hits 120F plus humidity, call me.
I'll be out running in it.

River DEAR
I love a good storm. I loved the storms in Milwaukee when a hot summer would be cooled and re freshed by a passing storm.
Discovering the beauty of freezing rain from my front porch the next morning. And best not on the freeway.
Counting the seconds between flash and clap and the time it was less then one.
In California my best is being at the ocean's edge when it is storming and raining.
Being bi-elemental I am sure you can appreciate a good storm as I do.
It is a free country. Anyone can choose to live in Paradise or not. Just like choosing to have a union job, or not. Right?
California is going to handle massive crust displacement just fine. Mostly. Not the low desert areas I suspect. The relatively young Coastal Ranges and Sierra Nevada create a pretty good foundation, compared to the Rockies, and the Appalachians' foundation will go down like the Titanic. You will be submerged while California + the northwest, will be too laid back for divine retribution evidenced that we have the fewest fundamentalist Christians.
That's how I figure it. And it is a free country. Although . . . I am but a guest in someone else's home at EA.

Faults are good.
So I try not to limit mine.
2012, I'm tellin' ya.
Rent a plane, now.

Yes, ANOTHER...
Moi, Hawaii is paradise, southern California is a yellow cloud, remember I am from there. Yes I know what its like to live near the ocean, I have spent many a day at the beach, sometimes I miss them but not the people, to many of them, not the traffic, way to much of it, not the smog, not the price of doing business, its not all what you crack it up to be to live in a paradise LOL as you call it.
Everything here is still green, its stays that way tell its all white, then its green again, NEVER BROWN and dead. So its not all paradise there is it?
It comes down to what you want and how you want to live and what your willing to pay for it. I happen to like where I live, its beautiful here, lots of lakes I mean tens of thousands of them, lots of water never need to worry about how much water you use or be metered for it.
We don't have somebody telling us we cant water our lawn, actually we don't water our lawn we don't need to and it still stays green year round. I guess you could say I live in Paradise not the one in California were my oldest son lives but here off the St Croix along the Minnesota and Wisconsin boarders.

It was 120 F. in San Bernardino today - too effing hot.

Re: There's Always The Weather
I observed thunder head clouds beyond the mountains. Were they yours?
What is weird is how you vent your hot stinky air over me after sunset, when the temperature goes up.
I guess Summer has arrived a month earlier then last year.
ANY NEWS from EA Irene Victims?
Does the predicted high tide times give extra cleansing action to Wall St.?
Will Bob3's top floor apartment keep his feet dry?

Post-IRENE Re: There's Always The Weather
It has been a day since last inquiry of Irene victims. Over that night Irene moved through.
No EA members have reported their experiences with her. Are those touched by Irene without electricity or internet?
Was she too boring (a storm) and not worth sharing the experience?
Was it ever the kind of a storm a storm lover could bundle up and go out and enjoy? Obviously not at the maximum.
Moi
well I think I herd a million people without power, 11 inches of rain in NYC, just to name a couple.

You might have to wait for power to be restored to people for them to comment.
Remember, the repair priority is electric first, telephone second and cable TV and internet last.
“They also call it the Winged Isle. Some say it is because the island, if seen from above, would look like butterfly wings. And I do not know the truth of it.” Then, “ ‘And what is truth?’ said jesting Pilate.” From: The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains by Neil Gaiman.
To add some reality to this, years ago I lived in the Santa Cruz Mountians, Red Wood forest. Moi, that is living in paradise, the winter I lived there it rained, over 100 inches, and because Red Wood trees have a small root ball one of this 1000 yr old trees decided to leave its home and travel down the hill. Cutting a 30' path to the road below, it hit in the middle of the high way and then toppled over taking the power lines and guard rail. PG&E arrived and cut the power from the live wires. By the time they got the tree cut up and removed and the power turned back on it took 4 days. This tree cut the power to half the people that lived in the canyon about 10,000 people, ONE TREE 4 Days.
It could take weeks for people to get back on line after this storm if not months.
