So this morning, a tornado warning was issued for Orange County, which to me was unheard of, until sure enough the emergency announcements appeared on the TV and my sister and my mom were tracking the storm as it headed down from the LA area. I remembered at around 11 am it was inconspicuously raining, which wasn't out of the ordinary, but at 12pm to 1pm the rain was so uncontrollably loud I had to scream in order to communicate with my mom as we were trying to clear the drainage pipe in our patio, which was flooding with 3-5 inches of water! I don't think I've ever been afraid of a storm before but my eyes were glued to the TV counting the minutes that it took for the OC to be clear of the tornado landing zone.Well it passed, and I managed to take video footage of the chaos for good ol' memories. Can't wait to show my dad and my little sister what happened here. Only thing is now we have to clean up the mess the wind and rain left in the patio. All I have to keep in mind is, it could have been worse!
UPDATE 1:57 pm

It is now freaking sunny bright outside! What is going on?! Kevin Pham texted me in response: "This is how we ROLL in the OC!" How true is that?

Here are a couple shots from my window. The raindrops still dripping down my window...
