The Perfect Storm

[CruiseX]

Today through this weekend at some point SD is suppose to see its worst storms in like two decades or so. At least that is what the weather guessers are saying. Make sure you get your windows closed if you are going to be gone for the day.

Storm people here do not know what a real storm, Typhoon or huricane peel like and just be glad that it do not happen

[CruiseX]

yeah seriously, I sat through Hurrican Ivan - that was a nice one. I laughed when I moved here at the prediction of a 1/4 inch of rain causing flash floods. God for bid you have to drive in the rain out here - might as well be bumper cars.

I am crewing on a new boat this weekend (sailing). We have three offshore (off Coronado shores) races on Saturday and two on Sunday. Big storms, big winds. I'm busting out all my foul weather gear and getting ready to get wet.

[Techknowledgy]

I will notify the coast guard Mike. Wear one of those GPS thingies so we can find you. Be careful!

hell, it's time to hit the TJ Sloughs!

Mmmm IB, nothing like surfing in chocolate milk...

It'll put hair on your chest, that's fer sure:D

Is the stom going to affect the Red Bull air races?

[Yolo]

Up to a 1/4 inch at the coasts...wowie...might get the windshields wet. Those boats are over 10 tons with huge keels that weigh like 4 tons...best sailing I've ever done was in 25 knot winds with pouring horizontal rain in that last huge February storm a few years ago...

Red Bull time trials are Friday...prob gonna be hit n miss weather, always seems to be perfectly clear offshore and pouring inshore.

Somehow wish they would cancel so I could work on my new setups :D

This hot off AP. (http://weather.cnn.com/weather/forecast.jsp?zipCode=91977&locCode=SPVX&iref=wxtodayicon)

[Yolo]

Wind downtown right now is GUSTING serious...hope its like this tommorrow! At this time of year, I wear all the foulies anyway, the crashing bow send water your way every few swells...kinda like a guy throwing a pitcher of cold water in your face every few minutes or so..

Sounds like fun!

[Redeye]

I used to live in NC and was born in Hawaii, seen enough hurricanes
I still can't understand the panic here

[Diver Dan]

The water was FFFFFRRRRRREEEEEEZZZZZIIINNNGGGGG yesterday at OB like 63 degrees!!!
The wind was blowing 20-30 mph at 50 some degrees and stupid old me left my wetsuit at home! I got out of the water and i could not feel anything!

Winter is here!
Break out the full suits!

[SDguy]

Eh, not impressed thus far...warm summer breeze blowing here in Scripps Ranch :confused:

[Redeye]

yeah, even my cat came inside, was to hot outside for her

[CruiseX]

its funny how such a little storm, in comparisson, that is being predicted is considered like a 20 year storm for san diego. Everyone everywhere else gets much worse on a weekly basis.

[acbaldwin]

Sometimes I wanna shut off all the lights, board up the windows, and eat cold spaghetti-o's just to remind myself of fall in Virginia. :D

Well, it doesn't take much to be the worst September storm here in SD in 20 years since Sept. is classically warm and dry still.

PS - Still nothing here...but my friend in LA said it's pouring rain :)

[fishfinger]

It's turning into a non event here in Clairemont. Nearly has the sidewalk in my entry wet...almost.

I would not even atach the word storm to this little drizzle. Maybe it will get worse today.

[Diver Dan]

Concrete here is pretty dry too! I'd say im gonig surfing today!

[BigAir]

Crap!!!! I just pulled my bike out and then it starts up.:mad: :mad: If I'd a known that it would rain today, would have been ridin all day yesterday.

Is it raining hard at your house brady?

[BigAir]

Steady rain, but not super hard. No freakin way is my bike going out in this.

[barometer]

It just started to rain pretty steadily in Serra Mesa. I can actually hear it hit the house :p

[afitzwater]
