August is monsoon season in the desert southwest. All of the wicked storms that hit Tucson were in August, into September. Last year was a good year from what I heard (= strong monsoon) but I'd have to look it up to be sure. Some years were a miss. I remember the years we lived there where I didn't have air conditioning in my car. What a man!

You don’t hear much about Pacific hurricanes, but this year is supposed to be a doozy in the number of storms. They are predicting an unusually high number of storms in the Atlantic as well.
Have you any idea of the joy that instills in people who work for property insurance companies?

Yeah but the National Flood Insurance Program is shitting a brick right now. They don't actually like stuff like this.

In it now. We were driving through rivers earlier this evening. It will get worse tomorrow.

I live about 4 hour drive north of LA. On saturday afternoon, when the eye was still south of san diego, a rogue cell, what i have called an advance scout party of Hilary, came to town with the strongest wind i have ever experienced here. It lasted all of 15 minutes. I was sitting in my hot tub in the backyard when it happened, and have a line of tall pines fronting my front yard. The wind bent these pines 90 degrees and immediately blew all of the dead debris my way into tue tub and the pool as well. Quite a messy intense blow it was. Followed by lightning and intense rain but all gone in 15 minutes. I thought the pines might actually break.
