this is socal,it never rains !
How about wind?  
Wind woke me up at 2:00 this morning, howling,  knocked over some patio chairs and even a planter box.
I figured it came from pottz!

Beautiful out today though.  Mid 60's
yes if you go inland a lot more. i dont get much wind here near the beach,mostly just gentle onshore breezes.now my BIL lives in the inland empire and he will get what they call santa ana winds that will take your patio furniture and give it to someone else !

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
