It rained here all day, but nothing terrible. A small rock slide on the back side of Big Bear. Luckily no lightning to start more fires!
If you don't want it, you can send it over here.

Your season is comming..... 
Damn, you guys really dont get much weather out there do you?? A sever thunderstorm warning?? Try having a tornado go about fourty yards past your house
I was just thinking the same thing, Barry. I was the same way last year when I still lived on the left coast. Day before yesterday we had a storm pop up and rip a few trees into some houses. Standard here in the summer.

From all documented reports, Aaron is really gud at holding his stick.
The monsoons are coming John.....little 'lectricity to help you heal....Now go stand in your front yard with your putter held high over your head.
There's a reason we get all het up when the humidity gets to 55%, temperature gets close to 100, or we have lighting and thunder. it's cause we aint used to it and aint supposed to have it. that's what we pay all them high real estate prices fer, so we doan have to deal with weather.
It's supposed to be 82 degrees, sunny, 3 mph breeze, and 20% humidity here. Every day.
If we lived in thunder alley we would expect thunder. iffn we lived in tornado alley.... well......
