Short, Sharp Earthquake
Just before 8:30 P.M. Your Boulevardier felt a very short, startlingly sharp earthquake here at Chez Boulevardier.
Between the quake, the torrential rains, and the vicious winds earlier today, it's beginning to feel a bit apocalyptic out there.
ADDENDUM: the rain gauge at Chez Boulevardier read 3.25 inches tonight.

I measured 4.63 inches of rain in roughly 24 hours ending at 7:30 PM tonight at my house in Castro Valley. I started measuring rainfall in 1991, and this was easily the wettest day in that time. In fact, today was wetter than all but two of the last 42 months. I think the last time we had a greater one-day total may have been the great storm of January 4, 1982, when Oakland got about 5 inches of rain.
I don't know how much rain we've had in the Patterson area but streets are flooding and horses are standing in puddles, good sized puddles, that were not there yesterday.
I didn't feel the earthquake at all. I was at work when it happened, I called home and the family didn't feel it either.
