Well the heat is on. The storm has stalled out and no one knows what it is going to do...so we'll see.

Aug 20, 2008 16:20 | #6769 Derweissehai wrote in post #6146301 Well now it's gonna come back in around daytona and all we are gonna get is alot of water and wind...so tomorrow will be a fun day. It is ironic to think of all that rain....we don't get any here. On average 354 days in Palm Springs each year are sunny, and the percentage of available sunshine is about 85; not quite a record, as places a little further east such as Yuma in Arizona have even less clouds, and up to 90% sun. The air quality is always good since the mountains provide a barrier to the smog above the Los Angeles basin, and humidity is low, reflecting the small annual rainfall total of only 5.8 inches, and around 20 days each year on which rain actually falls. Wind is often quite strong, especially to the west of town at the San Gorgonio Pass, where the prevailing air flow is channeled through a quite narrow valley between two 9,000 foot mountain ranges. In other words, 30 inches of rain in one day would equal about 6 years of our entire rainfall. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

I 'borrowed' this from a local website: In other words, 30 inches of rain in one day would equal about 6 years of our entire rainfall. So it's not very often that you get to race out after a rainfall and jump on your bicycle and ride through the deep puddles at high speeds? Kathy H

I did that once. The puddle I chose to drive through turned out to be a big pothole. The front wheel of my bicycle all but disappeared into it, and I ended up going over the handlebars. I did a perfect 5-point landing.....shoulder blades, butt cheeks, and back of the head. Messed me up pretty good for a while. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!
