We live at 800 feet above sea level. We'll be fine, if a bit over-crowded due to refugees from inundated coastal regions.

So is that a river? I'm looking at a map of Ottawa, and it seems like there's just a big river through it and not a lake? (It looks like it could be a lake!)

It is a river. If you're looking at a map, look for Westboro Beach.

I've never seen a city flood (there was one, but we were away on vacation and I missed it). Little rivers used to flood all the time with the snowmelt. There were pastures that relied on that. I remember hiking in the woods and finding river weeds eight feet up in the tree branches, a long walk from the little summer stream.

We made it to 30 degrees today. Time to put away the long-sleeved shirts for the summer.

Bay Area weather facts:

Summer fog that rolls from the Bay over San Francisco is named Karl. That is a matter of some controversy.

Karl has a twitter account, @KarlTheFog.

His byline is "All that is sunny does not glitter, not all those in the fog are lost."

Karl has opinions about politics.

Well, apparently even Gollum has opinions on politics, these days. ;)

If a fictional character can voice opinions, why not fog? I assume it has liberal opinions, if it picks them up from its surroundings...

I find Karl opaque and somewhat sodden.

That is amusing. :D


We had tornadoes last night. That is less amusing. :suspicious:

I was working, and I am shut away in the middle of the hospital in the lab without windows. The only way I can usually tell it's storming is when the lights flicker and/or when I smell the rain through the air ducts. Last night, J texted me to tell me that they had the sirens on and the tornado was heading toward my house. Then they called Code Grey, which is our severe weather alert for the hospital. It involves moving patients into the hallways (which, by the time I could get a straight answer on what I was supposed to do, it was too late to go help). They ended up calling the code twice before we got the all clear later. (Honestly, we have the best position in the hospital, given that we have no basement, so I wasn't too stressed.)

Anyway, it missed my house, so yay! It damaged a few businesses north of here, but there are no reported injuries. So that's good!

That's not normal, is it?

No, not at all.

We were, but I think it's due to be cooler here today, only 26C.

We were in the 80s (~27C) this weekend and my son did not stop complaining. To be fair, our normal June temperatures are in the 60s only rarely rising above 70F.

And then we had a rain in the middle of the night. We don't have rain in the summer. Except apparently now we do. There already was a pretty heavy storm a couple weeks ago.
