It didn't rain for hours today, and has only been raining fairly, comparatively, lightly most of the night. It just started raining pachyderms again, and the wind is hurling them against my house.
HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES EXPECTED ACROSS HUMBOLDT...
DEL NORTE AND TRINITY COUNTIES WITH 3 TO 5 INCHES EXPECTED
OVER MENDOCINO COUNTY. LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF 7 TO 10 INCHES
POSSIBLE OVER FAVORED TERRAIN.
So, well, MAYBE NOT....

I bet my old house in Mendo World has the pond up to the front porch and is flooding the farmhouse downstream.

...

Some hours later... much calmer. Hardly raining. I'm looking at this monster on radar. There appears to be a chance that the rest of it may pass about half a mile south of me. I mean, probably not, but the winds in the past couple hours were major and I just want that action to take a damn rest until after my trees get a chance to pull themselves back together.
