Well… I got my massive thunder & lightening storm ๐คจ… AT 1am!!! ๐๐๐


๐ That was what my phone said at 1am lol ๐คจ
I feel asleep early- ish… and Iโm sleeping and then I get woken by the LOUDEST crack of thunder ๐ณ๐ฎ
I was sleeping so that woke me up … and my daughter was coming into bed with me… I said โwhatโs going on? Is that thunder?โ
And she says โyup, there is a storm coming – the lights are flickering, we lost power for a quick second… Iโm sleeping with youโ
No sooner does she say that, then my entire house lit up ๐ณ๐ฎ… and then the torrential rain started and another huge thunder crack!! It was fierce!!! Kept lighting the entire house up and shaking everything… those booms … ohhh the ones I love so loud and fierce … The way I like it … but Iโm trying to sleep lol
I LOVE storms like that… the storm so loud it shakes your whole house ๐ฎ and the lightening was seriously lighting my house up, every few minutes – and that rain ๐ฎ the skies just opened up!!
Really? When I am sleeping and need sleep?? Lol … I canโt enjoy in the middle of the night when I have to sleep ๐คจ๐๐
Well doesnโt that just figure lol … of course
She said we lost power – so I expected my digital clocks to be all blinking and wrong … but she said was only for a quick second – cause this morning all digital clocks were fine.
We have more excessive heat today and tmrw… then we drop to maybe just 100 ๐คจ (37) … as if that were a drop… but it is when you coming from 112!!! Damn cook me!
We also have red flag warnings – meaning the wind will be starting… but we just had rain for now should be ok… but that heat will evaporate and dry the rain we just got… so may be having power issues (most likely coming up)
When the wind blows and the heat is brutal – that is fire starter … cause PG&E and their lines … they will shut us down
Ok well whatever
Crazy storm in the middle of the night ๐ฎ that was nuts!!
Today I am at a completely NEW funeral home I have never been to. So I will be busy.
Then heat or not, I HAVE to check out my car!! I will be a puddle and hot and red.
Ok I have to go get ready. Luckily I can go in little later than normal and is way on the other side of city – same distance as my funeral homes – but on other side of city
Alright enjoy your day โ๏ธ๐ I be back at some point
Lol.
That must have been a weird night for u.

Glad you got your storm, even if the timing sucked.
It’s been about 90 here (100 in my living room). Around 6pm yesterday I felt gross so showered and put on fresh clothes. I went out for about 20min and the humidity made ne so sweaty that I literally ripped off my soaked clothes and took another shower – pure cold water. It SUUUCKS!! Gonna be the same for the rest of the week.

Yes the storm was awesome … little tiny but tired – perhaps I am not meant to sleep? Lol ๐๐
This heat is nuts!!! I looked at my forecast and itโs just 100โs across the board even next week according to my app ๐คจ
Someone send rain!! But not at 1am… I have to be more specific when I wish for storms – donโt do them in the middle of the night lol

You do not have ANY ac at all? ๐ฎ
People and places in San Fran donโt have AC … but thatโs because they usually do not need it… is that why you donโt have ac?
LikeLike
Yep… most older homes in LB have no ac. It would cost waaay too much to get it… first need insulation, which first needs major wiring update. House across the street, newer than mine, paid $15,000.
I have a portable room ac unit but due to rooms with no doors, can only use it in my bedroom. But that means cats can’t go in/out freely. And, anyway, I really cannot afford the extra cost of electricity right now.
Orange sky is usually from fire. We’ve got it here but I know there are at least 2 big fires burning now.

Wow, well they have window ones and portable ones can be decent too. I wouldnโt do that expense either – not worth it and are other options – but dang this heat!!!

My ac is a roughly 3′ portable unit that has intake/exhaust through a window insert. It works pretty well but adds about $100 to my monthly electricity bill. It makes me crazy to think about how much of that cool air is escaping through the roof, floor, and walls.
I run 5 fans in the house… 2 super strong ones, 2 normal house fans, and a small one on the bathroom. I was looking for new options for my bedroom, because that one is dying, but couldn’t find anything I like.

Ohh yikes – we need ac and insulation here… ac cause NO WAY without in 112.
And Iโm probably a big baby? But it does get freezing cold in winter – heat is needed!
Without insulation all of that would totally suck!!
Hmm I wish I had a suggestion to offer, but I donโt ๐ฎ
I have one room that gets hot even with ac… I have a small swamp cooler in there and that works great for the purpose… you just have to make sure has water, which kinda annoys me lol
