Storms in Santa Cruz
Starting yesterday, and continuing through the week, and possibly through much of next week, Santa Cruz is experiencing some extreme weather. NOAA warns of the following:
High Surf Warning
Wind Advisory
High Wind Watch
Coastal Flood Watch
Hazardous Weather Outlook
Where, for example, High Wind Watch means winds 25-40 mph with gusts up to 60. Almost all week long.
I could not sleep in the storm last night. Perhaps because the thunder was so loud and so close that car alarms went off. And the windows rattled a lot.
It might also have to do with Antarctic boats. I’ve spent more than 3 months of the past year on a boat, and the last few storms I’ve been through like this made me nauseous, but also rocked me to sleep. I missed the rocking last night, which is good, since I’m in a house and not a boat.
