I doubt it. Looking at the video, you can see the excess leaves that are left behind and then the camera zooms more to the front of the device. Cutting off the viewer from seeing the debris left behind.

Hmm, my post is gone, strange....

It's the left over typhoon that hit Japan, so it could be a real decent storm. I see two bands off the coast, so it will be a one two punch.

Re: Woohoo

Got new windshield wipers today at Pep Boys in preparation. They even put them on for free. I'm watching my grandson's this week, getting them off to school, breakfast, etc. until their Dad gets home from work around 4:00. So I'm commuting this week to Union City. :D

These 5 am mornings don't cut it anymore either.

Re: Woohoo

sfromsf, you were right about dogs not wanting to go outside. I carried Ben outside this morning and he ran inside and hid from me. :D So I left6 some puppy pads down for him but he didn't use them. :o And it doesn't seem like he peed any place in side either.

The rain stopped in Alameda as soon as I got back from UC so I took him for a fast walk. He peed for almost 5 minutes. :D He was not very happy with me for making him go on a walk. He doesn't like wet grass or sidewalks.

Re: Woohoo

yeah luckily the rain let up here enough for us to have a dry walk.

though I did lose one tree and the other is ready to go.
These are both under three years old and the roots were so shallow they just lifted out from the water saturation and wind.

Just got power back on here, it has been down since 08:20 this AM.
I had to drive to the foot of the Altamont in Livermore this AM, trip took 2 hours.
Got back home at 2 PM, the house gutters were overflowing despite being clean.

My phone service is down and isn't expected to be repaired until Thursday. I swear, the first rain of the season always kills my phone service. Every year for a decade now. Two years ago, it was down for almost three weeks. AT&T is pathetic.

Re: Woohoo

It was insane. I actually got off the freeway (92 in Fremont) because I couldn't see anything even doing 35mph. That was about 3:30pm. As it let up a little I got back on, then it started pouring again. Half way through the San Mateo bridge it just stopped. Literally. My wind shield wipers went from the fastest setting to off in 10 seconds. I've never seen anything like that.
