I can't remember a time when SoCal had this much humidity for such an extended period. 

Definitely the most humid summer I can recall in my 45 years here.

Even more humidity this week. Lows of 75 at night, muggy and uncomfortable.

gross

I'm near the beach and it feels like Florida, on a good day. Which means crappy.

Depends on how you look at it. This is a small, close knit community. I know several people who lost everything, and one older gentleman who I knew well, died of a heart attack while packing things to evacuate. He wasn't found until this week. Very sad. There were several other similar deaths.

Over 120 square miles burned here, and spot fires are still popping up regularly. Fire season is just starting, and I have a grab bag by my front door ready to go at any time. There have been lots of fundraising events, I spent the day at one yesterday. T shirt hawkers are set up in several places around town...I'll wait until they are ready to move on and get a couple at bargain prices, like I did in the Telergraph fire in 08.

I came out relatively unscathed except for a rattled psyche and a fridge full of food...but this has been a true disaster and this town and this area will take a long time to recover. Fire leaves an ugly landscape and a lot of pain in it's wake.  Like most people here I'm still alive, but I'm changed.

I'm truly sorry to here that... especially about the man who passed. It's hard to feel good about not losing everything when you know someone who has.

As is typical for here this time of year, this afternoon I was walking in bright sunshine and rain. I suppose that is what they mean by scattered showers.

Run some fans and drink plenty of cool water. Close the blinds too from the afternoon sun. Good luck.

A storm is blowing through, out here in the IE.  Thunder, lightning, quarter sized hail.  I've just seen the first two, so far.
