Had a doctor appointment at the VA. Got wet on the way there, and on the way back. However, no flooded roads or canals anywhere.

Getting wind north of 40 MPH here at my house and 85+ on top of Mt Umhunum. GlueGuy must be blowing off the mountain.

We didn’t get the wind up here yet. On the other Hand, we got. 4.1 inches of rain at the house. There are evacuation warnings all around us. For flooding.

Here in Chinatown, windows blew off 555 California. It's also known as Trump Towers West. Trump is a partner in that building. The building is actually 1 block down the hill from Chinatown.

We're still here, but it sure was noisy yesterday. Biggest wind gust was 81 MPH yesterday. That plus 1.6" of rain. We hunkered down. The power went out at roughly noon, and is still out this morning. PG (and occasionally) E says restoration is "TBD". We are functional on our genny.

Living in an apartment complex, I don't have the luxury of having a genny. However, so far this year, I have not had the power go out yet. Knock on wood.

We are still on generator since about noon on Tuesday. PG&E estimates that we might get power back Friday afternoon.

$62.10 to have my mobility scooter towed home, less than a mile. This scooter obviously does not have the same mile range as my old one. Lesson learned. Must have looked funny on the back of that flatbed tow truck.
