I'm a bit south of Oakley... I worked from home today and spent 5 hours under a tornado warning, hunkered down in the basement. The rain came down in torrents; many roads are closed and we're under travel restrictions. 67,000 people in the area have no power tonight. My lights cut out briefly, but the other end of my street is dark tonight. Winds were clocked at 78 mph, and there were more than a thousand lightning strikes in a single hour (according to the local power utility). My next-door neighbors lost two trees, and it appears that my patio furniture is now scattered across the backyard. Glad I didn't plant out yet...
