Last week we got hammered with rain here in Southern California.
It rained, and rained, and rained some more for 6 consecutive days.
Do you see how precariously close my pool was to overflowing? You might have to double click for a better view.

Seriously, wasn’t that rain INSANE??? I mean, I’ve heard of weather before…but this was just too much.
And it’s supposed to rain again tonight. =)

Oh my that is for sure heck of alot of rain….now Ü be carefull…♥
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Yikes. I know our spill over was working overtime too. It was pretty nuts. I am happy last week is over.
I’m from that area, but not living there now, I’ve heard the rain has been crazy!
I didn’t think it rained over in your parts… guess I was WRONG! ;-P

Wow! Well, at least you won’t have to fill up your pool for a while. I heard on the news that people were asked to evacuate due to fears of mudslides in certain areas, but when interviewed, folks said they wouldn’t leave their homes and possessions. I can’t begin to imagine going through something like that. I’m glad you and your family are safe. Happy WW and take care.
You got rain and we got snow, snow, snow! I’ll have to post some pics on Friday of all our white stuff!
P.S. Even full your pool looks fab. I still want to come for a swim!
Oh NO!
We had a simliar issue here that resulted in crazy flooding!
Hope none of that water ends up in your house!
I’m pretty sure it has rained more this past week then it did all of last year! I’m glad your pool didn’t over flow. That would not have been fun to have an indoor pool.

Wow, Angie! That is a lot of rain! I have seen so much of it on the news and it is terrible! Don’t you wish you could just save it and ration it out as needed??????
Holy crap, I hope you back-washed the pool! I bet you haven’t seen that much rain in a LONG time.
I’ve sent you three emails over the past couple of days, to both of your email addresses. Did you get any of them?

I’m sure the rains are making you all pretty stir crazy, but I kind of really like that picture. I read something recently that said that a good rain brings out the colors in nature…your picture reminds me of that.
That IS a lot of rain…but it is still better than snow!
Holy Wow! That is a lot of rain!!! I am glad you didn’t float away!

January 26, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Wow! Have you built an arch yet? LOL.
I have heard it was raining. Hope it dries out soon! So do you guys swim in your pool in the winter (when its not raining) or just summer. Growing up in Northern California we had a pool but didnt do any winter swimming except the hot tub on occasion.

It’s always so hard to keep the PH normal after a heavy rain like that. UGH
Wow, that was a lot of rain!
I finally added your button like I promised I was going to. I suck. sorry!
Yes, very close, but still gorgeous!
Yikes! That is a lot of rain.

lol, my post was about the weather too!
Your pool is beautiful! You must live in the south to have no snow and an uncovered pool! Lucky you!
Okay, that’s a lot of rain. I used to live in So Cal and I can’t remember when it rained so much.

So sorry about the rain but goodness that’s a gorgeous pool. Where does the runoff water go if it floods? Your house?

We did have a ton of rain huh? Our rain gage here said 9 1/2 inches!
I hope you get some of that drained off!!

January 26, 2010 at 9:43 pm
Isn’t it funny the only reason I knew you’ve had a TON of rain is because Ellen talked about it EVERY DAY last week! LOL. But seriously – that’s impressive. I should show you a picture of our blizzard day yesterday – that might make you feel better about it.

I hope you are getting a break with the weather. My SIL is there and she was telling me that they are expecting a storm to come in today/tomorrow too.

WOW!!!! That doesn’t look like fun at all.
Wow, that’s a lot of rain! Pretty pool though. I’ve added your button to the left hand side of my blog.
Did the kids want to swim in it? Too bad it was too cold, I guess its not safe to swim in the rain because of thunder and lightening, but I have always thought it would be so fun to swim while it was raining!
Great picture of it, and so glad that it didn’t come in the house.
Holy Rain, Batman!! We just got a bunch of snow, cold, and wind. I wouldn’t mind a little warm rain!! Hope it dries up around there!!
Sorry about the rain but it still looks really pretty!

January 27, 2010 at 2:49 am
WOW. That is a lot of rain. I hope the rain stops or had stopped already before the pool starts to overflow and that would be really bad.
Happy WW!
It’s soggy in the south, too.
Seeing that pool makes me crave warmer weather!

That looks like here right now. The large river (please don’t ask me what it’s called) we drive over every day has swollen over its banks and covered the shores that surround it. Everything is muddy and gross but at least the rain has stopped. Probably gonna snow by the end of the week. Lucky. Me.

Wow talk about rain!!! I’m glad we didn’t get that here!
Hubby and I singing” It never rains in California but Girls don’t they warn ya, it pours, man it pours”,lol. I remember moving to California and the rainy season beginning, It poured right into the house we rented. Because it was the raining season they would not repair the roof, so we moved out after less than a month.

I only kind of feel sorry for you… mostly because you have a kick butt pool in your backyard that I am SURE you can use like, 300 days out of the year in balmy CA!
Still, rain day after day can get a girl down….

That is a lot of rain. My brother in blossom valley said that they expect it to rain the whole month of March – something like 11 Feet of WATER! Holy Cats – That is a whole lot of water. Happy sailing!
Wowza! Keep your floaties on!
Blessings!
Girl! I am SO feeling your rain pain. If it isn’t raining here then it is 22 degrees! COME ON SPRING!

I can’t imagine that much rain.
Our pool has seen days like that in the summer. It does look pretty cool though, like one of those island pools with the edgeless sides. Hah.
Lots of rain certainly does cause havoc! My local park always floods when it rains!

wow, that’s a lot of water!
I live in Northern California and saw all you in the south were getting hammered.. ugghhh for us is more rain. Hopefully it has let up alittle for you. We actually had a tornado in brentwood (bay area) hello are we in Kansas or what! I know a tornado it was going 5 mph. There was a tornado watch a few days earlier for the santa cruz mountains and san jose.. This is crazy.
Have a great week!

Yikes….I’m glad we don’t have a personal pool. Our condo community does but we were too busy staying dry inside to check it out.
I’d feel bad about your rain except for the “Southern California- no ice chunks in the pool” bit. I’ll take a little rain these days.
That’s one full pool!

Woah! Your paradise is looking a bit water-logged. Hope it’s not terrible to clean up.
First time here. Love it! Great idea. =^)
that is pretty scary..
That weather has been nasty lately hasn’t it?
Hi there, I grabbed your button for WW, and when you click on it it says ERROR 404, little help here. Thanks. As far as the rain you have just remember to collect in pairs. LOL

January 27, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Wow! That is a lot of rain! I can’t believe your pool might have overflowed. Hope you found a good way to stay dry.
It rains here EVERYDAY in the summer.
I feel your pain.
Man I wish I had a pool. Looks like I would jump in that thing all the water would splash out!

Soon enough you’ll be lounging by the pool again… Never fear!
ONE MORE DROP and it would’ve been flooded!
I bet that really messed up your chemicals. Oh wait, it’s a salt system right? Well anyway, it would have been fun to swim in!
wow, now that is a lot of rain! Thanks for WW, so much fun!
♥ SOOOO close! Oh my word!
