Wind was worse than the rain. Lots of downed trees, electrical poles and wires. Crews were working all night. Power went out for us early yesterday afternoon and was back on around 7:30 this morning. We had several objects, some rubber mats, a trash can, land in our front yard. I went out late last night to a McDonald's to use their wifi since cell service was reduced to calls only also for a bit. Roads were closed and some traffic lights were out so I headed n the opposite direction. I've live in the greater bay area my entire life and the high winds were a first for me although we've had heavier rains in the past. I don't regret my decision to not go out to the ranch yesterday. The drive home would have been horrendous.

We're in Contra Costa County. We lost power Saturday night. PG&E info was that they estimated repair to be 22 hours (about 9:30 pm Sunday). Pleasantly surprised when restoration was made before noon. I’ve never experienced wind as we had on Sunday. DH and I went outside to check for damage and could barely hear each other’s voices while standing about 6 feet from each other.

Stay safe, friends! What we are seeing on news feeds looks so awful.

Saw 2.75 inches in my rain gauge as of 6 p.m. tonight (Monday) so much less than some of the areas surrounding me in south Orange county. We had a little wind, but nothing like what was experienced in other parts of the state.

Hope no property damages, everyone has enough food and supplies. Stay home be safe.

The intensity and duration I've experienced seems to have been less than what was experienced the first two weeks of January last year. Though, if a tree comes down or a hillside above or below one's house has a mudslide, then then weather stats don't matter much.

Parts of Santa Barbara along to the LA region got hammered with the narrow and seemingly focused Pineapple Express streams of intensity.

Some of the flooded street scenes are like "the usual suspects". There are intersections and neighborhoods here and there that are low lying or have poor drainage and the TV and newspaper crews know where to go to get scenes of cars driving through door-sill or higher water levels. In San Jose, there were scenes of inflatable boat rescues of homeless people who'd been camped along the Guadalupe River. Folks, it always floods along the Guadalupe River when it rains. Once, about 15 years ago, so much that part of downtown SJ had a few feet of water in the streets. For those of you from other parts of the country, don't think "River", think of a former creek turned into a not too large drainage channel exclusively for rain runoff. 10-15 yards across, not much more.

Hope all stay safe and well!

I have lived here in the Santa Cruz mountains for 37 years and never had wind gusts like we had, 50+. It was scary.

Stay safe everyone and I hope the recovery from the damage is easily remedied

I have some concerns for my cousin in Encinitas. Every report on the storm had indicated most of it would be north of her, not much lower than LA. They are close to the beach. Adding: *CNN was reporting last night the weather system was slowly moving south towards San Diego.

About a year ago her two adult daughters relocated from Seattle and Portland and bought a house together in Cardiff making it possible for the whole family to be involved in raising her only grandchild, little boy just now 3 1/2. I know they are bright people so will just have to assume they are taking good care of each other unless I hear otherwise 😊

Tons of rain for us, too, and soaked beyond soaked. As Lars posted, we’ve had no wind or flooding. We had to go out briefly yesterday with the rain really coming down. However, we saw no flooded streets or other areas. Our house is set back and up from the street, so excess water goes to the street and down the gutters. Our street curbs DO get full of gushing water. With rain like this, or even less, you don’t want to set any trash barrels in the street or they can float away long distances. They say we’ll have sun this weekend.☀️

Ours news just mentioned San Diego is getting the brunt of it right now.

This current radar map would suggest the action intensifies inland. And is north of Oceanside, not in the immediate San DIego area. .

I live in coastal south Orange County where we had steady rain steady for the past 38 hours, but it quit about an hour ago. Since we live atop a slope, no flooding here. However, I have not been out to see the neighborhood. The talil end of the storm cells seemed to be just south of us. Sounds like San Diego got a real soaking again from another part of the storm system.

South of LAX, I put an empty pitcher out on the deck when the rains started. No damage here so far.

Not where I am, coastal near north county in city limits. No rain two days ago, an inch yesterday, half an inch earlier today.

We could still have a bit more rain but nice to wake up to some sun this morning!☀️
