It's missed me here the last couple days, though before that we got drenched pretty good the one night.

Looked like it was going to do it again tonight from the look of the clouds as I was heading home from work (with an unsuccessful pitstop at goodwill to see if they have any microwave ovens, since mine blew up last night). But it swerved west before it reached the valley. Still a chance that the one coming up from east of Tucson could reach us between now and morning, but I won't hold my breath.

Tomorrow ahs even more chance for rain, and if we get it probably at least as much as we got the other night...I'm hoping it doesn't hit us until *after* I get home, as I have to try goodwill again for the microwave hunt.

Here is what they are talking about this morning...
8-19 to 24 rain.jpg
 

I remember this one back in 1972. People were boarding up windows along the coast. We got no rain or wind but the surf was glorious.​



Hurricane GwenEdit

Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
DurationAugust 22 – August 31
Peak intensity125 mph (205 km/h) (1-min); ≤941 mbar (hPa)
On August 22, a tropical depression formed from a disturbance. It immediately strengthened into a storm and was named Gwen. Gwen moved generally northwest, paralleling the coast of Mexico, and intensified into a hurricane on August 24. It then spent a few days heading west-northwest before resuming its original course. The hurricane became a major hurricane on August 27. After retaining that intensity for over a day, it rapidly weakened. Gwen became a tropical storm on August 29, weakened into a depression the next day, and dissipated just after that. Hurricane Gwen caused some concern for high surf in California, including a forecast for storm surge, but only the high surf materialized. Hurricane Gwen caused no deaths or damage.[4]
