A severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was created earlier Monday. The safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement. If no basement is available residents should seek shelter on the lowest floor of the building in an interior hallway or room such as a closet. A blanket or pillow should be used to cover your body, and always stay away from windows. People inside a mobile home or vehicle should evacuate them and get inside a substantial shelter. If no shelter is available, lying flat in the nearest ditch or other low spot and covering your head with your hands is the safest thing to do.
Storm #1 is history though it's possible we could see an isolated shower through Tuesday morning. Storm #2 brought very heavy rain fell for a couple of hours during the mid to late afternoon on Monday; the storm died down quicker than was predicted, thus rainfall totals are less than expected. Storm #3 is taking shape up north and should arrive here late tomorrow bringing heavy rain, strong winds, even bigger surf and the possibility of some thunderstorms. This storm should bring us abundant rainfall amounts and could stick around into Friday with a few isolated showers lingering into Saturday morning. This will be a colder storm and should produce some heavy snowfall in the mountains.
