It's funny. We always laugh when the California weather news reporters talk about "Storm alerts!" because it's usually just a little bit of rain. This time we didn't laugh. A major storm has just passed the Bay Area (in fact, it's not just 1 but 3 storm systems, and the final one is expected tomorrow).On Friday, the winds were extremely strong (the canopy we had in our backyard collapsed so I guess we have to buy a new one for next summer), and reached about 105 mph in the hills above my hometown, Los Gatos! Keep in mind that hurricane is defined as winds above 74 mph, so it shouldn't be a big surprise that trees were literally flying around in the area. In the Sierra mountains, the winds supposedly were in the 150+ mph range (!)
