The rain so far isn't going down all the way south to there yet but is expected to. This is a very intense storm but luckily for us no major power outages outside of the clock on oven knocked out and reset. We are seeing some brownouts but nothing serious so far.
The storm hasn't gone below Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo so far though it is eventually expected to. Everyone willing to evacuate has already been evacuated from Montecito now next to Santa Barbara. We even have evacuated friends moving back temporarily to a family home there in Santa Barbara.
I took the dogs for a walk and a few limbs were down but not trees that I could see so far. Some twigs and limbs about 1 foot long or so were down some places but nothing big so far. The winds might finally be dying down a little they were howling before. It's possible the worst of it is over so far.
The rest of the storm is doing something funny which is from Eureka it is heading north in a counterclockwise spiral as far as about Seattle or Vancouver Island and then it goes out to sea and then returns to Eureka right now. I've seen more storms that last few years doing this reverse spiral sort of like a hurricane now which is strange to see this anywhere from San Diego on up into British Columbia.
From San Luis Obispo to Paso Robles the part of the tsorm that hit hit us in the bay area, the storm appears to be going East and inundating the Sierras as far south as almost Bakersfield in snow and heading further east from there
