Well, that was a wakeup thunderclap.

Sounded like it was right on top of us and might have hit a tree nearby. Glad I don't live in L.A., it's pouring out there right now.

1. Weird. No thunder and just big drops. Not pouring in Hollywood.

Wish all of that was happening here.

2. My area has been in a drought almost all year. Now

when we do get a little rain, it's been just light sprinkles. My farm pond is down four or five feet. Love to have a heavy downpour to put water and oxygen in my pond before it freezes over. I'm afraid I could have a fish kill this winter.

Everything big tends to move east and north of us.
Still, that was a nice downpour; the rain sounded like it was hammering our aluminum awning for about a half hour just around midnight.
Perfect "grab the naggy cats some stinky food and us a couple cups of hot cocoa and watch the rain on come down until the noise level goes down enough to go back to sleep" moment break.
I feel for the night shift workers though. Kidlet was closing at her store and got home basically 15 minutes before it hit.

On edit only an hour later...just after I posted this, kidlet asked what chance of rain she would be facing going to work today. Weather channel showed a chance of rain again around noon to 3pm in San Diego proper. Just a minute ago - an hour later, it shows absolutely no chance of rain except for a little stray drizzle because everything just moved north east of us instead of moving north. North and East county (hills and xburb/rural area) will be soaked, the city will just be slightly chilly and humid. Weather shadow weirdness.
