A storm like this can put a serious dent in ol' man Drought! We are told we may get more than five inches of rain and 50 mile per hour winds. Bring it on, Mother Nature! Robert Scarola photographed a storm cloud moving in.

We know we might have power outages but we are prepared. We haven't had a nice, big storm like this for several years and we are grateful.

Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share his photo with you here. If you are on the Coast this Sunday, Dec. 14th, join Rick and me at the Four-Eyed Frog Bookstore in Gualala at 4 pm for Robert's book event for his new book, Rim of the World.
