I remember when I lived in Long Beach, CA the annual rain fall was around 7 inches or so per year. That still the case? I now live in Mandeville, LA and a few years ago, we had over 18 inches in 36 hours. My house was ½ inch away from being a bath tub. Good luck with the weather out there.

BTW, mustangadam, if you post a pic, I may have just what you need.  

Thanks, mustang. Nope, we have been having the a drought seasonally for the last fwe years, so aqll this rain is a belssing to some, a curse to others (like all the Richy Riches that have $1.5 mil plus homes on the hillsides)

I originally grew up in Florida, which is a half a lifetime ago. Moved to So Cal in 79. Went back to Florida twice this past year to visit. God, I miss the green of everything. I had forgotten how much grass just grows everywhere, and now I live in the Hgh Desert. What a change. Will probably think about moving back there in a few years, after my 10 year old little sweetheart graduates, or maybe sooner.

Yeh, y'all back east have been havin' some weather, and now we are finally gettin' our's...It is now 7:15 PM and everything has calmed down and is clearing up. Just got back from getting milk and some streets are still shut down due to downed power lines.

I am calling it quits for tonight, catch up tomorrow......g' nite..
