Yeah it is “raining”, Oregon style, which means it is so gentle you can ignore it. Is is supposed to get worse? I haven’t listened to a weather report lately. Ha, good thing we got the hay in on Sunday!
Oh boy, those burned hills are gonna be a big mud slide!It raining here too though I’m about as far away as you can get 😆
It’s REALLY damn cold too! It feels like it might snow soon 🙄
Got a busted Windstone?

I do love being home in bed when it storms watching it rain through a window though!
i don’t think oregon is going to get hit hard, just consistant rain for a while. but where i am at, we are right in line of the jet stream that is shooting typhoon leftovers at us. rain and extremely high winds.
I’m loving it 😀 Although the power is out and I can’t get out to see my horsies I absolutely love the rain
I love the rain myself, but the high wind can go. I love sitting at home listening to it rain snuggled with my doggies but I had to work today. It was a bit scary driving home–there are some people who drive absolutely crazy when it rains–WTF–you can’t see so slow the heck down! I hit a couple of puddles and saw the water shoot up from both sides of my car! Wasn’t going fast and I didn’t see them but it gave me a scare–was hoping it didn’t wash out my brakes.
But now I’m home and it isn’t raining as hard–nothing flooded–no trees fell on my house and I have power and phone and most important–all my fur and feathered babies are okay! All’s well that ends well! Just thinking about the Santa Cruz mountains and the fire they had there last year–mud slide problem for sure–I hope not–just brings misery to a lot of folks.
LadyFirebird,
Oh goodness! I am sorry it was scary. I am giggling a bit about your depictions of the rain though. Gosh! That sort of thing has been so normal for me that it’s hard to imagine it as being unusual for someone else. We hit puddles to send water shooting up on purpose sometimes. XD
Though the mudslides are indeed scary. They are rare here with all the forests to hold things in place but they have happened.

My art: featherdust.comI was out in the chicken yard this morning in rain suit and big rubber boots, wiring the tarps back onto the roof of the “spare rooster” pen. Freaking weather! My poor birds. 🙁 Jake was so upset about all the rain and unholy racket coming from the tarp whacking in the wind that he wouldn’t stop crowing at the top of his lungs. The wind blew all day until evening. I bet he could use a lozenge by now!
The young Phoenix roosters couldn’t believe any of it. They’d never seen rain before, and kept sneaking up to the door and staring horrified at the sky. One of them stepped out for a moment; the wind got up under his skirts and boy did he jump! “Yeeow! That’s cold!”
Phoo. I was prepared for the rain, but that wind sure did not factor into my plans. This weekend I’ll have to redo all of those tarps.
UGH
I stepped in an ANKLE DEEP puddle at school…>.<! Totally didn't see it and I was in a hurry to get under a roof, so I didn't even just put one foot in it, I put both feet in it!
I had dressed for work before class thinking I’d just go straight to work after class and not have to worry about coming home…NOPE I got soaked from the thighs down and I was squishing as I walked…wet socks are the worst.
Luckily my dad was home when I got home to change, so he gave me a ride to work ^^ so I was dry at work. Yay!
Now hopefully he’ll do the same thing for me tomorrow >.>

😆 I forget! We’re weather wimps out here compared to the rest of the country! I got startled because I wasn’t expecting that puddle! And….I’m older–don’t need too much excitement in my life–could be dangerous! Plus I was told that hitting puddles like that you run the risk of washing out your brakes. That was then–don’t know about now.
I’m sure the rest of you folks are laughing at us out here! But we do have something out here that I guarantee will scare the willies out of mostly all of you—EARTHQUAKES and you don’t know when they’ll hit. Talk about living on the edge–so we’re tough in other ways! XD 😉
Hope everyone is “weathering” well…
We have a cool chilly rain today here in the sandhills of NC and the temp is about 49 and yesterday was sunny and 76! Big changes…
Haying the horses this morning sucked, I hate heavy wet hay…we go through about 3, 1000 lb round bales in a weeks time. So no matter the wetness, it gets used quick like, LOL!
I am lucky, the farmer lives less thank 1 mile from us and he stores all my hay in his HUGE shelter…
Take care everyone!
I was wondering about your roosters and chicks Bardwing! I know Jake has been through a big storm before. poor fella.
Yeah, my ferall cats were soaked. for some reason they preffered under the bench…on the wet grass….as apposed to under the wheel barrows we turned upside down over some bricks for them. I need to put some chairs on the front pourch for them.
I stayed inside most of my day with my kitties painting your Keeper and doing house works.

Oh no! Not laughing at you. More like laughing over how different things can be! 🙂
We actually do have earthquakes over here! They are usually quite minor and infrequent! …through we had a 2.4 last month: http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_lxc1.html
Actually the fault lines we are on are mostly quiet, but science suggests that they ‘let go’ all at once every thousand years or so, and when it does it’s devastating. 😮
Our current ones are no where near the earth-shakers that you folks have for now, though!Volunteer mod- I'm here to help! Email me for the best response: nambroth at gmail.com
