A big storm is hitting here in northern California tomorrow.

Have a friend north of Sacramento and she was telling me about it today. She's also worried. Hope you are safe and no damage to anything around you. Take care and be safe.

I'm in SO CA too, foot of mountains. Supposed to hit us tomorrow mid morning or so. Supposed to be alot of rain. After those rains, the biggest concern is flooding and mud slides. We are either fry'n or slide'n!

I am praying that God protects you throughout this storm. I know that even if I don't see you over the weekend, I shall see you soon. Take care Kat.

Well Katlady when hurricane Dean hit us here in Jamaica last year we were are geared up and the devastation which occurred in some parishes was reallty terrible. As you have said gather your supplies, have your batteries, lamps etc. and be safe while I continue here to pray for you. As soonn as it has passed please let us know you are ok.

Protective energies to you and your neighbors! Keep us posted on how you're doing... if you can. We're having some nasty weather today... no snow but it's bitterly cold with high winds. Fortunately, the cable modem hasn't been affected. Yet. All appendages crossed, for us both!

OMG! pls do take care.. and prepare emergency stuffs... im from the Philippines i also encounter storms hitting us.

Hi Kat I will pray that you will be okay. Im glad to hear your getting your emergency supplies together. Smart thinking! I know my sister who lives in florida does that too. They are always being hit by storms too. Keep us informed. And you take care!Hugs!

Wonder where all that rain was at when all the wildfires were destroying houses and woodlands this past summer. Anyways, from what I've read, you guys could really use the rain so hope nothing bad happens to you and your family during the storm, Kat.

Here is it several hours later and the storm is in full force here in Northern California. I can hear the winds howling outside pretty good as I type this. I hope the power does not go out because the family and I rely on air cleaners to sleep through the night, plus our kids like a little night light and they have a hard time sleeping when the rooms are pitch black. To top it off, we have a septic tank and if the power goes off, well, there goes the toilet. Yuck! :P If my fellow mylotters don't hear from me in the next few days it's because my power went out...

Yeah we're getting ready for round 3 or 4? now I've lost track! After it hits you down there it makes its way up here. We had SNOW last night after the wind stopped. About 2 inches, enough for the kids to make snowmen before it melted. Right now it's strangely calm out there.....#:0

We're bracing for the same storm down here. Fortunately, where I live, it really won't impact us that much other than possibly wet feet and some minor flooding in the streets. Hopefully, I can keep my feet dry because I really don't want mildewed tennis shoes again. Maybe I'll look for my hiking boots to wear tomorrow and Saturday. I pray that the storm won't be too bad for you, especially the power outages because it's colder up there than where I am in L.A. I have a feeling it's going to get pretty cool here but it's unlikely that I'll lose power where I am and I'll have heat. I just hope you have lots of heavy blankets to keep you warm.

Hope everything will be ok for you Katlady2.I have a friend now living in America, and she told me that the weather there was too bad and chilly.That was the first time she experieced the storm. Store bottles of clean water and enough medicine,I think they will be helpful.Take care of yourself,please!

We had clear skies most of the day... I let the dogs out and admired the pink sunset on the mountain. When I let them back in, the sky was all gray, boiling clouds, and the wind and rain pounded us for several hours. It seems to be quieting down now... it was pretty intense! At least the power stayed on, though it blinked a few times. Hope yours passes through just as fast, IF it gets there at all!

welll that sicks for them ha

All right if you are not here, we will know that your line is down, your cable is out, your dsl is gone kaput. If you upload a photo later on with you a few inches shorter we will know that the tree fell through the roof and squashed you down a few inches. If the tree is still there, we will know you will still be there. So hope that the weather does not turn out too bad and that the tree has deep enough roots.
