Southern California Storms

My campus was flooded yesterday, just as I was heading over to my 1:00pm class. Good thing I had heavy boots and my umbrella. The local news has video from the Long Beach freeway, a few miles northwest of my college, around the same time yesterday:

Costa Mesa, in Orange County, had a tornado whip through town as well. That's big news for us, even though national election news and the happenings in Haiti have taken up more of the air time. See also, "Soaked Southland Awaits Third Storm."
