The National Weather Service says rain is falling at a quarter to a half an inch an hour and that could increase to an inch per hour by nightfall. The […]

Rain, lightning, and thunder in Burbank

  A lot rain falling in Burbank this morning. Just before 9 a.m. lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbling thunder in B-town. The calendar says it’s the first day of spring. It still feels like winter. This Pacific storm is pounding the entire Southland and is expected to continue the assault through tonight. This storm is packing winds 15-to-30 mph with some […]

Regular gas breaks through the $4 barrier in the Media City

The price of regular gasoline has been hovering very close to that dreaded $4 a gallon mark for several days here in B-town. Today, for the first time, I saw stations with posted prices for regular at a little over $4 a gallon. I began reporting on the appearance of $4 a gallon gas in Burbank about two weeks ago. […]

Gas prices on a roll — we feel the pain in Burbank

Gasoline prices are going up fast. About a week ago, I paid $3.79 per gallon for regular. Today, at the same station I shelled out $3.97 for each gallon of regular I pumped into the P.T. Cruiser. I’m starting to take note of where I see the cheapest gas.  At these prices, checking around for the best deal before you buy is worth it. […]

Wonderful weather — but a change is in the air

Another warm and sunny winter day on tap for Burbank today. The sky is not that gorgeous clear blue it was yesterday — as some patchy clouds and light winds have moved into the Media City and the Southland. It will be cooler today with the high maybe in the low 70s. On Saturday the high reached 79 in B-town. Tonight, there’s […]

Sunny and cool on President’s Day

A lot of sunshine in Burbank on this President’s Day, although, the temperature is warming up slooowly. The hillside area was awash in sunshine this morning, but my walk was still quite chilly. The temperature didn’t seem to bother some. I saw folks diligently cleaning up storm debris and one ambitious neighbor was out painting her house! Despite some lingering clouds– no rain in the forecast — at least […]

Storm preps: More rain coming — City of Burbank offers free sandbags

  The rain stopped and the sun came out around noon in Burbank today. The fair weather did not last long. A heavy rain cell unloaded on the hillside area just before 1 p.m.  In addition to the on-again off-again rain, some strong winds are whipping through B-town. This is only a prelude. A really big storm is expected to roll into the Southland […]
