We just got a call from a neighbor, Ken Ruth, asking us to close their windows. So glad he was keeping up on the weather report!
Click to see the forecast. The weatherman is teasing us with a ‘slight chance rain and possible thunderstorm’ tomorrow afternoon. “Slight chance”. If that is still predicted, we’ll be running around closing the windows at Ken and Lynda’s and all my listings, just in case.
Are you off the mountain with windows open up here? We’re glad to get them closed. Just let me know.
When lightening is in the forecast, it is also always a good idea to unplug computers, phones, ipads, TV’s, refrigerators and anything else at risk of frying in a thunderstorm. Neighbors have lost all of the above leaving them plugged in. So sad!
There are some of us that really enjoy our summer thunderstorms. It reminds me of a day while we were remodeling nearly 50 years ago. A delivery man had just pulled up with a big load cement block for the fireplace chimney. The sky opened up when he was out on his little forklift. We got 4 inches of rain in 20 minutes. It was kind of like being in middle of a river. He wasn’t too friendly. We asked him if he’d ever been to Palomar before. “No, and I’m never coming back.”
He has missed out on a lot of great storms that come with our beautiful four seasons.
Ah yes, a good washing is always a great idea.

Palomar Mountain News 
Hi Bonnie!
I like storms too! Especially thunderstorms with lots of rain.
I use to live in Palomar Mountain, and l enjoyed very much its storms. I now live in Los Angeles, and nothing that interesting or exciting ever happens around here. l wonder if that has anything to do with the reason why the denizens of this city need so much entertainment and diversion.
Anyhow, l miss Palomar Mountain! Not only it’s storms but, all of it!
Thank you for all your postings, l enjoy reading them!
Esther.
