I have our pre-first-day-of-school meet-the-teacher event tomorrow just as the worst of the weather is supposed to hit us.

Watching the KCAL/CBS2 news channel on the Paramount+ app. As usual, instead of having experts on to talk about the forces at work, they have recent college graduates standing outside where the worst of the weather is likely to hit.
