For more than a few days now, I've been reminded of that old Sinatra tune, with words, "The weather outside is frightful. . ." As reported on national news, Sacramento has been hit hard with a series of bomb cyclones, flooding and inclement weather. It has been arriving via a daisy chain of significant storms from the Pacific.
I counted my lucky stars on New Years Eve. I hadn't lost power, or suffered any damage. However, this Saturday night we endured winds sometimes reaching as high as 68 MPH, as reported at nearby Mather AFB. I lost power here at home around 11:30 PM. It didn't return for 14 hours, around 1:30 PM yesterday.
There are many trees down in the city. Several are in my community. However, yesterday afternoon, the clouds parted long enough between storms. that 21 of our family managed to spend celebrating the 80th birthday of Pat; and Lupe, who is now 99. We did that at my favorite Mexican Restaurant, El Tapatio. There was great food, and fantastic music provided by a group of Mariachis that roamed the floor.
The storm that blew in last night had been predicted to be significant, but wasn't as bad as the one on Saturday. Life is reasonably good!
Here's a video of the Mariachis performing.
