Hmmm, the horizons aren't giving the sense that there's action coming.. getting the feeling it might be wet and wild but that's it...

I'm also tracking the clusters of quakes that California is experiencing at the moment, too, 6.5 offshore rattled them a bit... quite a bit of action there, too... sorry, I digress....

TBH the MS rain radars show that it's not even really arrived in all its glory yet, hasn't travelled much between 4pm and 5pm shots... seems this could just be the start - good start! Feeling more optimistic now...
