It's odd how 5" of rain in one area can wreak so much havoc. We have afternoon T-storms here that drop 5" in a couple of hours and it's just "another rainy day".

Probably the same reason a 5.0 earthquake here is nothing to be concerned about, but the same earthquake in your area would probably cause extensive damage.

When you only average a bit less than 10" of rain for an entire season, 5" in a day over loads the drainage systems.

I'm on vacation? :confu

Thought that you might be, you were up late last night posting. :roll

Oh and back on topic. Tonight and tomorrow we will see. The ground is already saturated, and with a nice heavy rain that is forecast, the hills are going to come sliding down. art
Just part of our 4 seasons: Fires, floods, mudslides and riots. :yah

Now, I'm confused, Abe. Is that a picture of the lunar eclipse...?

...or a picture of Mike hanging out in his back yard in the dark, doing nothing on his vacation?

Don't say that, my son lives right at the bottom of the Shadow Hills near Hansen Dam.

It really is no joke, they get a lot of bad breaks out in that area.

Been raining since Friday here in SoUtah....I am starting the construction of an ark. I am watching the local creek and hoping it doesn't wash out the two bridges one on the North and one on the South of my house unless Amber is already home.

I am on high ground, so until the neighbor's houses start to float away I am OK.

Oh, you said CA folks....Well, Toni I just thought I would just jump in since I am an ex CA folk....

I saw blue sky today and reflections on the clouds that the sun is still up there.
