Rainy Cali Coast Orange County, CA Weather Update

Weather report: 4-13-2012 

When in rains in southern California, Californians are rarely prepared and it's big news around here. So drive safe, and bring your umbrella and coat.


Rare strong winds struck on the shores of the south OC. Just a mile south of the city San Clemente created a waterspout off the shore. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=weather&id=8620376 
Currently in South Orange county the rain has stopped for the most part, and the wind has calmed.


Here's more news on the storm:

Yellow in the Ocean? T Street Beach San Clemente, California- Orange County

Yesterday was a gorgeous beach day in San Clemente, CA. At T-Street Beach the water was warm and shallow enough to walk out swim and boogie board. Only a couple cautions, warm water also brought a string ray that may have stung someone earlier in the day where we were now splashing, later there was some concern of rip currents. But the spotted yellow flag was not the only yellow spotted at the beach. The biggest concern in my opinion was the bright yellow we could see first from the cliff above T-Street. The yellow colored water streaked moving south from the San Clemente Pier and south of T-Street. People swam and splashed anyway. After a few hours the yellow was finally pushed south and spread and you could no longer see notice it. There are piles and piles of a long seaweed bed that is stretched across the coastline making the ocean blue somewhat brown. Is this related to the yellow, was this yellow dumped into our water? This yellow as bright as paint, what was it? Glad there are showers at the beach.

Comments welcomed.

Yet Another Earthquake 6-14-2010 Southern California

I was working on my blog when I felt some rumbling below my feet and my desk shaking. Very minor in my area felt more like a 2-3 magnitude. I gathered my children and stopped at the front door, just like my last "earthquake dream", in it I stopped before we went out the door. Except in my dream, I felt/heard the voice of God telling me to be prepared. We do need to be prepared as this is more earthquakes in such a close time (all over the world too) than I can remember in all the years growing up here. Are we really prepared? We have some bottles of water, can food, band-aids, and... what about our souls, are they prepared for any unexpected events that may bring life change? We got to live for Him. Keep the faith.

6-14-2010 9:26 pm Earthquake 5.7 magnitude in Southern California, near Ocotillo. Southeast from Orange County and San Diego near the Mexico border. More around the area.

Earthquake again, Mexico California Border 4.5 May 18, 2010

Interesting... Last night I had a dream. A short dream, my home was shaking, really shaking and I knew it was an earthquake, I gathered children, and then I could hear right before going out the front door, as though the Lord was telling me, "Be prepared, don't wait..." and more; I remember mostly prepare. I woke up after that. I think now more so it was about prayer and not being caught off guard, but ready. I more and more these days feel that a larger earthquake will come again sooner rather than later, as it is obvious to us Cali residents, "long over-due". I felt today I was going to see something about an earthquake on the news... sure enough today on abc 11pm "Earthquake in the South-land" Not too big a 4.5, 3s, and 2s. Many earthquakes in the general area. Especially Mexico.
