California Weather??

I miss California a lot, especially during the winter!! I love the California warm weather and I really can never get enough of it. So who would have thought California could have had the weather that it did yesterday? I had a free moment at work so I thought I'd check Facebook. All of my California friends had a status about a tornado and flooding. I immediately called my mom to see what the heck this was all about. She said that the tornado had just hit the Seal Beach area and that the Pier, Main Street and PCH in Huntington Beach had been evacuated. I was just waiting for her to tell me she was being evacuated since she is about a mile from those areas. I then talked to my sister and she sent me a message saying that there were people kayaking down the middle of the street in Long Beach because the streets were so flooded. I think for the first time in my life I was grateful for the 37 degree weather and snow in my life :) Here are a few pictures of Seal Beach and Long Beach yesterday. All of the captions under the pictures are from the Press Telegram. Click HERE to see more pictures of kayakers, people trying to "surf" the flood, and the 710 fwy.
