Rain and Wind!


"SACRAMENTO (CBS13/AP) ―

(1/19/2010)
Yet another storm is slamming into Northern California, bringing another round of strong wind and heavy rain to ground that is already saturated from days of rain.

The fourth storm in a series that has lasted all week is working its way across the state with the brunt of the storm to pound the Valley around midday.

A high wind warning is in effect for much of the Central Valley with steady winds from 25-40 miles per hour expected along with gusts up to 50-60 miles per hour."

It  has been really wet & windy here.  We need the rain badly, the wind, NOT at all ! 
 
Last time we had a storm like this one, we had no power for 4 days.  To add to the misery, our generator quit working.  We ended up in a hotel because after the rain stopped, the temperature dropped and we couldn't stay in the freezing house.
 
This time, we have a new generator, which has been test fired recently and IS working.  We can at least have heat on & off and run the pump for the well. (Flushing toilets are pretty important, too)  I think we could probably stick it out this time. 
 
Send California your good thoughts, please?

Brrrr!  Chris
