Well, maybe I should just say wet weather as we did not have thunder and lightning, just rain. I think it must have rained for about nine hours, but not always very heavy. Seems that locally we had almost two inches. These pictures were taken from the same spot in the backyard in the space of about three minutes around 3pm on Christmas day. The rain started around 7pm.
Looking out to the east over the park.
Turn slightly to the northwest. The very deep flood contral channel is diagonal across the bottom of the image.
Turn slightly further to face north.
Directly over the house, facing west.
On Chirstmas Day the weather bureau issued a tornado warning for Santa Barbara Co, and parts of Orange Co., but it was cancelled soon after. Strangely, statistics show that there are more tornadoes in Southern California than anywhere on the west coast. I have witnessed two in the sixty years I have lived here. Didn't like them!!

Those skies look ominous. I am glad they cancelled the warning. Doesn't sound like a good way to spend a holiday.
