Yes it was odd. I checked weather.gov and there are some ocean hazard warnings and a possible thunderstorm warning for the mountain areas so maybe the storm drifted to the coast a bit?
Now it’s raining??!?!
Microburst!
I felt it downtown at 4:55 pm. It was very odd.
lol it’s not a microburst….just a short rain shower. other places get it frequently. just not us.
i watched it move from the north east to the coast line. drenched us at SBCC for 5 minutes then moved outward to the channel.
when a storm moves in, it’s displacing…..space. air. that pressure, when it moves into an area, causes the winds. there is always a slight wind, or heavy, right before and usually a little after a squall hits.
this is very common at sea. we live on the edge of the sea
oh cool, someone on edhat downv’d a logical response. geeeeeeeeee….that’s unusual here. funny when you provide facts and logic, educational information that is relevant to a thread, you get a big fat DV.
keep sticking your collective heads in the sand.
fyi, being a sailor, i’ve taken several meteorological courses.
That WAS an odd wind event. I noticed it as well. I think it came up from the southeast. Lots of swirling wind. Junk was flying around everywhere on 101 through town when we came up from the south – trash, leaves, random debris. Unstable air.
We have a giant 80′ Eucalyptus tree out front. I was sitting in the living room, glanced out our picture window and —– out of nowhere —– the tree branches started whipping around like crazy. Hmm . . . No wind predicted. Then, just like that: the wind just stopped. Okay. That was weird. About 10 minutes later, my housemate comes running in from the backyard: “Rain! It’s pouring rain1” The rain quit after only a minute or so . Lower Riviera.
