I got the camp cleaned up and dinner ready while H took the kids to the playground and we’re getting ready to head home. The baby can stand up on his own so he thinks he’s hot stuff. He cannot. What?! He looks like a tiny sumo wrestler, it’s pretty funny.

Woo DS is negative, as long as the girls still seem healthy in the morning they can go to school! MH and I are trying to find a new show to watch together, we started Prodigal Son tonight and it seems like a solid maybe. We were trying to place a name in the opening credits - “Lou Diamond Phillips, how do we know that name?” Oh, he was a special guest on The Wiggles once 💀

Unfortunately the actors can’t fix bad writing.

Muppets Haunted Mansion was fun for a cute 50 minute watch.

Welp. This is the biggest storm we’ve had in 26 years. That’s why it feels so wild.
If you watch Sunday night football you can see what a mess it is.

I might pack a change of clothes honestly.

Normally I could just work from home but someone is on PTO and I have to go in. Driving in the rain here feels like thunder dome.

It’s too much too fast.

There's a lot of flooding where we are. My kids are hoping not enough teachers can make it in and they'll cancel school tomorrow.
Nevermind they HATED being stuck inside all day today!

You can tell them that my kid had to go to school on Monday even when there was no power at the school. NorCal does not play. I remember freshman year of college during El Niño and the professor standing next to a huge puddle of water lecturing away. Like what the heck?

I was a senior in high school during El Nino (1998?) and we definitely still had to go to school even though there was flooding everywhere. The schools in our district are, in fact, closed today. The kids have been assigned work to do from home.

The kids have been assigned work to do from home. My power went out at 3 am. No estimate for it to be on. My next door neighbor on one side has it but we are out. I think school has power so seems open. I’m going to go into the office in a bit but wanted to wait for the sun to come out. 880 is completed closed to flooding in the Fremont area. But it finally stopped raining so I think we will survive.

I hope all the Nor Cal-ers are staying safe this morning! It’s cloudy here, but no rain yet, although my weather app says the chances are 100%.

Oh no, I hope you get power back on soon jaygee! Central coast here and I don’t think it’s quite as bad as NorCal, but it’s been raining heavy all night and still going. We lost power about 8:30pm last night. The worst part was DH and I were in the middle of watching Halloween and I totally freaked out. Thought Michael Myers was coming for us! Haha. Luckily it came back on about 2am so I think all the fridge stuff should be fine.

Power came back on. About 5 minutes before I walked into the office. Ugh. Well, I need to pack up the remaining items in my office anyways so I guess I’ll do that today.
At least it wasn’t out long enough to spoil any food.

How are all my West Coast folks doing? It is NUTS here in the North Bay. Just completely insane. Creeks are flooding, branches and power lines down all over, crazy. shamycooler , jaygee , loony , Yogurt @ others I'm forgetting My mom's creek in Napa is 4000% the yearly average! I had to drive to work today and then the power went out. Kids got ready by candlelight and then the district called a snow day 1.5 hours later than they usually do - there were already kids at schools and on buses. It rained multiple inches yesterday and we have at least 6-8 inches of really wet heavy snow on top of everything. It's not fluffy snow, it's like 6 inch deep puddles with 2 inches of ice and slush on top. Gross.

Still hasn’t started raining here, but the wind has picked up significantly. At least I didn’t have to deal with it on the commute to work, it will just be on the way home. Forecast is for 100% chance of rain. I know we need rain, but like showers instead of massive downpours would be nice!
