Brewing

Today is, literally, the day before the storm. We have a big storm heading our way that is supposed to hit tonight. These last few days have been amazing for surfers with swells over 20 feet high and perfect weather (high 70s and sunny). Actually, surfers have been coming from all over the world because of the conditions (and unfortunately there has already been one fatality with the really strong waves and ocean conditions). That all changed today. Today was really cloudy and the wind has been kicking up all day. Although we really need the moisture, there are a lot of precautions being taken in the recent fire areas due to the fear of mudslides. Those poor families that were evacuated here in OC because of the fires a month ago are and again last week during a more minor storm are, once again, being evacuated. You can read about it here if you are interested. Anyway, I am anxious for the storm to break since it seems that there is just this anxious feeling in the air. I am concerned, though, about how J's party will go on Saturday since the forecast is for rain, thunder, and lightning. Maybe it'll just add a little spice, eh?
