Saturday morning

Many thanks for the good wishes! We're fine. The leaks are slowing. We'll find out if the condo association is responsible for fixing them, and if not, they join the very long list of repairs waiting until we get the debt load below five figures. (Assuming that ever happens.) It's not like it's going to rain like that again for another twenty years

So glad you weren't washed away and the house is standing.

Habits are very tenacious, even if they were not beaten into one. I'm glad you thought of your east-coast clothes.

It took me months to realize that the long underwear I got for fall and spring camping could be used in the actual winter at home.

Heh! Brains are so weird.

Hee! Funny how ingrained our habits are. I'm hoping you're soon all dried out, and that no more storms come your way for a while, at least!

[sartorias]

Well, we desperately need all the rain we can get, but not all in a single hour, propelled by hurricane winds!

Prompted by your post yesterday, I texted my sister who lives in Encino how they were weathering the storm. Okay, except for a branch that fell on one of the roofs of their rental properties colocated on their property.

Yikes!

(For those not familiar with that part of the Greater Los Angeles region, Encino is next door to Sherman Oaks where a man was electrocuted due to a fallen power line on Thursday.)

Yeesh! Yeah, the trees have been seriously weakened by the long drought, and dropped branches are simply everywhere. Alas, downed trees, too. :-(

The storm sounds crazy and exciting! Good luck with the roof - I hope the condo association fixes it.

I had managed to miss all the scary weather news--let me join this chorus of friends in repeating how relieved I am that you and yours are okay.
