The storm door was open over the Presidents' Day weekend, bringing wind and rain in great measure. On Monday, during a break in the squalls, Catherine Miller ventured out to Arena Cove where she saw a startling sight. She wrote, “The waterfall at the Point Arena Cove was getting blown upward by the strong winds.”

The term for this is reverse waterfall. It happens when strong winds hit cliffs and drive water upwards, instead of allowing the water to follow its normal course to the Pacific Ocean. It’s quite rare to see this.

Thanks to Catherine for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Today, Thursday, has been a sunny, clear day but this afternoon clouds are approaching from the north. The predication is for rain beginning tomorrow morning. Here we go again!
