The power didn't go off until roughly 2AM on Sunday, so it was a late-Valentine from the weather I guess ;). Be safe in this storm when it hits you! It might not look like much on paper but the rain and wind are both ridiculous. Pretty much all the counties up here are on flood advisories, and there's been minor black outs all day (though thankfully our section of Santa Clara only was hit by the one).

I guess the good news is having all this rain might starve off the water rationing everyone is talking about. But I'm a little worried about Big Sur-- all this rain is a recipe for mudslides even without the bare hills. Those fires burned a lot of the retaining vegetation during the summer. *crosses fingers* *___*
