STORM STRAYS
OUT OF SEASON
Winter Rainfall Occurs at
Time When There Should
Be Only Gentle Showers
EXPERT Is NONPLUSED
Somber Clouds Drape Skies
and Heavy Downpour To-
Day May Spoil the Parade

The weather clerk disclaims all re-
sponsibility for the storm which struck
San Francisco yesterday. He had done
Odd Fellows a fine sample of Califor-
MAS climate, but Jupiter Pluvius took
an unfair advantage of him.
About IL o'clock last night the rain
fall, which had begun earlier in the
evening, increased in force, and from
midnight until 1 o'clock a. m. and later
the water poured down from the heav-
ems in torrents. Shortly after midnight
a torrent swept down Market street
past the Palace Hotel like a millrace.
Little wind accompanied the storm.
On Third street, between The Call and
Examiner buildings, the rain swept
along with great vigOr, and for a time
in that vicinity every one who ventured
out received a free bath
The storm came sweeping in from the
Pacific Wednesday. The State of Wash
ington was the first point of attack.
Hour by hour the clouds became black
er and heavier with rain. An area of
high pressure extending from the
Rockies TO the Atlantic stopped the
eastern course of the storm and drove
it south. That is why California is get
ting the rain that really belongs to the
valleys Of the Missouri and Mississippi.
From San Diego to Vancouver the skies
were moist and menacing last night,
and unless all signs fail the precipita-
ton, to-day will be heavy.
The storm, according to local Fore
cast Official Wilson, is out of season.
The fall rains are usually light and of
small area Those of winter are heavier
and more extensive. The present dis
turbance belongs to the latter class by
reason Of its severity and its length.
How long it will last is uncertain, for
so far it has shown no diminution OF
strength.
The rain is not needed in the agri-
cultural districts at this time and may
do great amount of damage. Wilson
sent out storm warnings all along the
line and gave the farmers an opportu-
nifty TO prepare for trouble from the
elements. Those who took advantage
of the monitions will probably be able
to save their fruit.
The outlook for to-day is for heavy
showers in all the region west of the
Rockies between Canada and Mexico.
