Mark J Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 Just realized that @Chet is in California, too. So let me revise the above post: How are all our friends on the west coast doing during this weather event? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a way above average 24 hour period of rain, 2.05 inches, and a two day total of around 3.5 inches where I live. It is considered a flood plain but decades back the local water district put in a series of berms that keep us well protected. But there is a lot of debris on the roads from the high winds. I found a few shingles from someone's roof in my back yard. Parts of San Jose did have some serious flooding but nothing that took lives. Lots of power outages but again we are fortunate that our utilities are all underground. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted February 6 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6 Not too dramatic down here. The unusual thing has been the duration. Around me the flood control pathways, berms, and channels have kept the water flowing. We have bands of granite and clay for soil. Once the ground gets soaked the water starts running and we can get flash flooding in the arroyo-like areas. All is well with us though. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
