I could be wrong but I think her Spirit is in the Pacific ocean right now!

Her ghost might bring some needed rain to cool us down here in San Diego, thank goodness.

I posted this yesterday night. And I was right.
Awoken 5:00 AM by rain. And I was thinking, "whoa this is not right, rain?" So I checked radar and guess what - thunderstorm passing just to the south of my home, I could see lightning and hear thunder. OK, not WOW type of stuff, but at 5:00 AM in SoCal, not common. Had a gut feeling that the day would be weird, and I was right.
Forward to 1:00 PM today. Sun's back out, new tstorms popping in the mountains, not really cool, right. Well, this one cell pops west of Palm Springs, CA and it strengthens. Thought it was a regular garden-variety storm, but within 30 minutes, it had supercell structure on radar and sat. And I was thinking," whoa this is not right, supercell, no svr tstorm warning?" Next thing I know, guess what - TORNADO WARNING issued for Riverside County, tornado spotted by trained spotters in Hemet, CA. Now, TORNADOES from SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS in SOCAL. Something's not right here, and then I realize, hey, this is Em! Had some things to do later, and when I came back two hours later it was gone. BTW, if it weren't for the trees outside my window and the haze today I would have watched it all. Could have gone outside and photographed but everyone in my neighborhood would've thought I was crazy.
That wasn't the only cell as svr tstorm warnings went up for Ventura and Los Angeles Counties as well. Flash flood warnings were issued for San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Ventura Counties. Latest in a series of wacky events in SoCal these days (with the record rainy season we've had

) Not to mention that later in the day it became quite breezy (not as windy as Em once was).
Man do I hope to see some images of the tornado in Hemet.
And more tstorms expected 'till Monday. Keep 'em rolling Em.
EDIT: Don't know if anybody cares, but just watched local news, tstorms are top stories, and they said that there were 16,000 lightning strikes in a 12-hour period in San Diego County.

Wow that doesn't happen daily in southern California.
