We had a rather wet Pride
 
after which a pretty gross photograph, but not of the cousin

July 18, 2015 (San Diego) San Diego woke up to the sound of thunder. This is the remnants of Hurricane Dolores. When we got to the Pride parade at 10:30 it was still dry, though it was starting to sprinkle.

It was not to remain this way. Soon we were under heavy rain, with distant lightning strikes. The National Weather Service said some hit Point Loma and the beaches were evacuated.

We took shelter, as much as that can be called such, under a tree to try to keep somewhat dry. Or at least this was to try to keep the equipment dry. Participants though did not let the inclement weather.

We came home and we were soaked. Thankfully I bought rain sleeves a few years back. Downside, whatever was the focal length on the zoom lens when you put this on, is it. Adjusting them is next to impossible. But the cameras remained dry, even if we did not.

One of the videos shows the lightning behind Todd Gloria. This is rather odd weather for San Diego, especially in July. This is the remnants of Dolores. 

Are hurricanes in the Pacific called that?  I thought only hurricanes in the Atlantic were, and that hurricanes in the Pacific were called something else.

Tsunamis are what we used to call tidal waves.  As it was explained to me when I was a kid and Dad was stationed in Japan, hurricanes for the Atlantic, typhoons for the Pacific, and monsoons for the Indian.

May or may not be true, somehow I remembered that all these years but never felt an urge to look it up.

Yep.  We called them typhoons in Japan.

Cyclonic storms from the west coast to the Hawaiian Islands are now termed as "Hurricanes". As are the Atlantic basin storms. Storms west of Hawaii are called "Typhoons" and get Japanese names. First typhoon is always named Asa Akari, because she can really blow.

Why Frank? Why must you put a word that sometimes draws an excitement inside the same thread title mentioning gNads?! 

[Mr Mannn]

Just think of all the soggy feather boas...all the perfectly permed hairdos.
Just think of a ruined parade.
Just think of Nads in a wet t-shirt. pole dancing. smiling at you. and you have a dollar bill.

Great...thanks. Now I'm going to have a problem becoming tumescent for about a year.

Not that it matter, but still....

I'll "just think" of a loaded 9mm in my mouth, safety off, suicide note beside me, and keeping the dollar bill instead.

MIND BLEACH, STAT!!!!

Thanks, that makes more sense.  Although, if I ever have to explain the difference to a 5 year old, I'll probably use Dad's definitions.

There is a lesson in there, but gNads and her fellow primitives are too dense to learn it.

God doesn't approve of rainbow f(l)ags, buttboys in chaps but no pants, nor dykes on bikes riding in formation.

and that must be the reason the perverts tend to gather in earthquake zones

Well, they are cousins.

It's sort of gross to read about nadin and "wet" in the same sentence.

The cousin's got to get back to selecting topics that have a wider appeal--she used to, so it's in her--than this one does, after twenty-four hours.

so, they got some rain in San Deigo. 

Stop the pressers!! They got some rain in San Deigo!

First time in known history. They got some rain In San Diego!

Ticker tape parade, loose girls kissing GI's home from the war. They got some rain in San Deigo!

Atomic bomb on japan, man lands on the moon. They got some rain in San Deigo!

I can see it now, Nads talking to the neighbors grand kids...  "I remember when we had the great rains of 015, I was covering a fire, waiting for more reports over the scanner. I suddxenly heard the pitter putter sounds of H2o landing outside the laundramat. I rejoicced, grabbed the good rig and hubbby and went to do interviews. Alas, I had to cross the Rubicon to find humans out in the downpouur. My efforts were sucessful as I talked to a stray cat that in itself, looked like a drowwned cat.<insert picture here>.
Reports are that the rain was coming down in souftball sized drops and stacked upon the sidewalks 4 meters deep. <insert plagerized picture of snow on Mt Shasta>
I would enjoy sharing the fukll story with you all at DU, but you are bullies. "
