Small Tornado way to close to home just a little bit ago

 

There was a tornado warned storm north east of me a couple hours ago. Not sure if anything came of it though. Didn't have a chance to watch it.

 

Cool clouds just before a storm rolled in...

The rest of the BC south coast just got bumped up to drought level 4 as well , Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands have been at Level 4 , which is the most extreme rating , for about 6 weeks already

I have a flash flood watch in effect right now.

 

So I'm curious, what does an extreme drought look like in the PNW? Is the grass brown? I'm used to the droughts we had in NM where it's just dusty and brown.

 

I was curious about this as well.

 

Yeah , pretty much all the playing fields and lawns are brown

It rained here lightly on Sat / Sun which is the first rain we've had locally in 4 months , the salmon streams are drying up , all rivers are closed to sport fishing on Vancouver Island and in some streams they are going out and rescuing stranded salmon and moving them to deeper pools .

Forest Fire rating is extreme , with almost 200 fires burning in BC

 

I've been complaining about all the rain we've had here lately. Making my backyard swampy. But I guess it's better than that.

 

We dried out fast here in Oklahoma...been nearly 100 every day for the past week.

 

Wildfire started in the Cajon Pass, torched 20 cars on I15, then jumped the highway and continued up toward my place. We had mandatory evacuations so I sent the wife, kids, and animals to my mother-in-law's while I stayed in the neighborhood but out of the smoke to make sure looters didn't take advantage. My house and my immediate neighbors got lucky, but 4 houses as close as 1/4 mile away burned.

 

It is actually raining in July in California.

 

Heard about that on the news. Pretty crazy stuff.

 

Wait for it...

 

That's badass!

 

First, we have to evacuate due to a forest fire. Now, we have severe thunderstorms and flash flooding, and I swear I saw a rotating cloud over us earlier.

 

Had a small storm come by the coachella valley on the 18th. some bad flooding in indio. drove my slightly lifted taco through some of the flooding and I think I shorted out a coil cause it ran rough after i left the puddle. issue went away though. but I think i drowned my horn as now it sounds like there's water in it XD. anyone know where I can get a good horn that sounds like this?

 

Still no rain , we're at 10-15% of our regular precipitation going all the way back to April

115 new wildfires in BC in the last 24 hours alone
