Emma: I walked in Aquatic Park in Berkeley today and the weather was perfect. I live in Emeryville, so I am in the middle between Mt. Tam and Mt. Diablo. That's incredible that you had a storm today!

you are very welcome misako!
How was the weather in Pt Richmond today? We had a storm at about 8 and then lightning . This caused a brush fire on MT Diablo.
