Hope all pulled through the storms today!

I hope everyone in the So Cal area made it through these crazy storms today without much damage. There was a pretty large swath of Riverside County that got hit realy hard with rain, hail and even a confirmed Tornado. Crazy weather for this time of year.

Sure was crazy weather, Snow, hail, flash flooding, tornado - all in the same day.

Oh, yeah - I almost forgot the brush fire.

The IE got nailed pretty good, like you said. Not so bad at all where I am, just a bit of rain.

I can't believe you posted that!!

My cat just started acting wacky a few minutes ago too.... damn!!!

If we get a shaker it's you're fault! pun intended

EQ weather is usually dry and windy ala Feb. 9, 1971 or Jan. 17, 1994... just ask Steve or Bill.

We may be old, but we weren't around for Long Beach 1933.

x2^^

Scientists will say there is no correlation, but I might disagree.

Unseasonably hot weather + full moon are common traits to most of the earthquakes I remember.

It was warm and dry and a full moon at the time of the Landers/Big Bear quakes as well.

Who knows? All we really know is it is coming.

I live about as far south as you can get in Cali and it's still cold down here, 44 degrees at 0900. We only got two tenths of an inch of rain and a lot of cold wind.
No quakes or tornadoes just a minor hurricane

Yea It is still cool here in the Menifee area. Now this week it will probably climb back into the 90's. I agree with the earthquake thing. Crazy temp swings seem to be a trigger for them. Either way, it is promising to be a busy summer.

This was the coldest, most gloomy Memorial Day weekend I can recall in all my years in So Cal.

I flew the colors all weekend and still said my piece/peace to the fallen soldiers.... but the weather was just waaaaay off of usual.
