Tropical Depression Lowell

It looks like we shouldn't have any problems from tropical depression Lowell. The government has discontinued the watches and it looks like it will come ashore south of us. They are still saying that there could be 1-3 inches of rain and 5 inches in some places; but looks like we may dodge this one.
Last night the city declared an red alert and they were telling people to be prepared. They kept listing off which places are shelters within the city and in San Carlos. When an alert is called the children automatically get the day off from school, lots of happy kids I bet.
So, by the current look of things Lowell will be a non event here. I am sure that the people who are still recovering from Tropical Storm Julio are glad about this.

It's Wet

It is wet this morning here. The sky is covered with gray cloud and it has been raining for awhile. One nice thing about it is that it is cooler right now. It is only 26 C. with 94% humidity making it feel like 29 C., nice.
It is, I am assuming, rain already from the storm Lowell, which has now been downgraded from a tropical storm to a tropical depression.
The forecast is saying that we could receive from 1 to 3 inches of rain from this storm over the next couple of days. We shouldn't have any real problems from this storm unless it happens to pick up some force again in the next day or so, which isn't likely according to NOAA.
The rain won't bother us too much; but I am concerned about the people still trying to recover from Tropical Storm Julio. They really do not need any more rain right now.
