Turns out the worst wasn't over when I wrote this post after all. We were drenched all night Saturday, and after a bit of a break for most of Sunday, it's been coming down hard tonight.
Apparently this is the third, and last, of the three storms. None were of the Biblical variety, as promised by Mega Doppler 7000 HD Plus. But they were still pretty heavy nonetheless.
The good news: Thanks to the magic of WD-40 and an old credit card, I was able to pry Blogger Toddler's closet open. (We've now instructed him not to close the door, at least for now.)
But there's a new issue at Franklin Avenue HQ: For some reason, the fuse for the lighting in our master bedroom and living room shut off. It's pretty much just a nuisance; we can still use lamps plugged into the wall. So I've decided that because (a) it's raining, and (b) I'm not in the mood to be electrocuted, flipping the fuse back on can wait until tomorrow.
It's finally gonna start drying out on Monday, the L.A. Times writes:
"There may be a few peeks of sunshine," said National Weather Service specialist Bonnie Bartling.
The rainfall totals in downtown Los Angeles reached 5.31 inches this morning for the season (which began July 1), ahead of the normal of 4.23 inches and well above the 1.31 inch total recorded at this time last year, Bartling said.
Rainfall in a series of storms that began Friday was just less than 1 inch in downtown Los Angeles, 2.3 inches in Burbank, with about half an inch overnight, and 5.33 inches on Mt. Wilson.
Hope you all survived!
