Today’s rain arrives with a few claps of thunder

There was a bit of weather excitement in Menlo Park today with a thunderstorm (well, at least two claps of thunder) causing power outages that lasted from 15 to 30 minutes. By 2:30 the sun was out.
InMenlo weather watcher Bill Russ collated just a bit over .1″ in his gauge, bringing his season-to-date total to 17.95″.
Emailed InMenlo reader Karen Fingerman: “My son was so excited to be in the rain that he did laps up and down the street!”
