To those in the southeast in the path of the storms, stay safe, it may be a good day to do hand work when the power goes out.
For Taria and those in the upper desert here, stay safe with the big fire nearby in the hills between Los Angeles and Las Vegas!
Ginger in CA a very foggy start to the morning on the central coast of CA
I hope the storm full of rain is being exaggerated and blow right over. (there is always hope) We are about 15 miles away but I know of for sure 3 quilters that are evacuated. My dear friend is going to be 82 next week and her husband is very ill. They don't drive. I hope the neighbor there helped them to a safe place to sit things out. By the time I noticed the smoke it was too late to even call. Lots of smoke. DD was in Palm Springs but was lucky to get word and head home the back side of the mountain so she didn't sit on the closed freeway. I think this is a firebug and he has been at it for several weeks. I am sure more than a few Vegas and river trips got cancelled. Vegas can really use the business right now too I hear. Enjoy that fog/coastal air conditioning. Taria

We have a tornado warning, a flash flood watch and a tropical storm incoming. Other than that, it's just raining. Lots. Polly
Polly, I've been watching the Weather Channel and wondering how you're doing. Hope you and yours aren't hit too hard.

...was at the local minimart this afternoon, where their t.v. was blaring news of tornado warnings in N.Y. state, flooding in Louisiana & other parts of the old south, and more storm damage in the northeast. We stood there in the 70* temps, wind blowing, & I observed, "Today, living in Texas doesn't sound so bad, eh?" Laughter all around.
We have survived 68 days of 100*+ so far this year; today is lovely.
R/Sandy - watching reports of the fires just west Ft.Worth & down in central Tx.
A new fire in Aqua Dulce [40 miles north of Los Angeles city proper, pretty far west of Taria in V-town], evacuating large animals now A fire in Tehachapi southeast of Bakersfield [where Ms Flutterby used to live], over 650 evacuated A fire in Rancho Sisquoc area [in rural northern Santa Barbara County]
Yep, September is here. We get firebugs, and afternoon thunderstorms with lightining strikes igniting bone dry chapparal.

I just saw the Texas fire stories on the news a bit ago. You all stay safe there. It is always scary and often dangerous.
LA news full fires tonight. End of holiday weekend in time to cause a night mare for many folks trying to get home. We had thunderstorms in the early morning hours here with a bit of rain. Hot and humid. I want our dry heat back! Hope they get a handle on all these fires asap and folks and homes will be safe. Taria

We've been in Canada for the last several days - hello barnyowl - sorry I wasn't able to get in touch and meet up yet again. Haven't seen/heard US weather for days. Not meaning to offend but Candian weather channel just not as detailed as US weather channel. Drove home today in rain from the Canada/US border all the way to NJ. Not a pretty sight and especially with 3 teenagers in the van! But they were VERY good! Hope everyone is safe. Haven't seen local weather yet except for a brief newsclip advising of more rain for this area as well as more flooding post-Irene. Don't even know about anything else yet.
Be safe from rains/fires/etc.

We ran out of things to do - tropical storm, flash floods and tornado warnings. So. Today the temp went from 100° to 50°. It made the birds hungry and the Yorkie happy. If summer's gone it is okay. I never did find a 7-piece swim suit. Polly
