Apparently we don't usually get "Tropical Storms" here on the central coast. We're getting hit with the beginning of a three tier set of 'em. I tried to take more pictures at the beach but the wind was sandblasting my face...seriously. My jeans and windbreaker were coated with sand.
Power is on and off. Trees are down everywhere. The wind is so strong they are closing bridges and leaving the bigrigs on the bridges. The brunt of the first wave of the storm is to hit in about two hours.

I'm in central Calfornia and we are riding the same storm out. It's flat ugly out there. I'll be glad when the wind dies down. About 4 this afternoon, or so they say. Good luck. Have a great day. :)
eeek! Stay safe!

Wow - I don't think I've ever seen a California palm tree blowing like that! Stay inside and stay out of harm's way until this thing blows over - literally!
It's been crazy, hasn't it? Glad I didn't have to drive to Mountain View today.
BTW, I had to reject your blog for inclusion on h-b because you don't have a link on your site. Sorry, rules are rules. If you don't care about having your blog listed, you don't need to link to h-b, but you selected the "list my blog site." Resubmit when you're ready. :)
Holy moly......batten down the hatches!
Be safe!

And let us know you've come through the other side of it safe and sound, eh?

And here I was sniveling about the crappy weather in Oregon. OK you win today!
Hope all is well with you.

Hi Katherine!
So sorry it took me a while to get over here to visit your place. I'm in the retail business...so I just finished the most intense time of the year...whewwww!
(now it's my time to rest)
GREAT blog! Happy energy!
Hey, listen...I use to live in Florida...and those photos are giving me "flash-backs" to all the storms we would get during the summer months...WOW!
(tape the windows...and chant!)
Your children are beautiful!
I'll be back to read here again. Thanks again for stopping by my place. So nice to meet you!

Got your batteries and other emergency supplies all set?
I've been through west coast hurricanes before...funny how few people on the east cast believes we get them. There's no real "season" for them, but they do hit and they hit big.
Take care and be safe.
wow! Hold on Katherine!!!
WOW! That looks like one helluva storm! Stay safe, my friend! I'll be thinking of you!
