A day of rain and cool weather 10-11-12

Southern California has had such a long stretch of extreme heat and only a few traces of rain since the rain season started the first of July.   Only last week it was over 100F on my patio on different days.   Today we finally had one day of rain.  Where I live there was just a heavy shower in the morning and no more.  But in other areas the rain turned to hail and thunder/lightning shook up every one's animals. 


About 10am this was the view to the north - very threatening.  But also beautiful. 
 
Within a minute I took this picture from the exact same spot, but looking to the east over the park.   For Placentia the rain was over for the day.   The high temp this afternoon was 78F and for the weekend  temps are predicted to be in the high 80's again.  Sigh!
