Everyone here on the west coast okay with the flooding/storms?

Hope you all are okay.

Oh, all good. Kayaking to the store is getting old, but basically we're fine. ;)

I was surprised to find a trove of sandbags at the upper end of my road this morning, but it all rolls downhill in my immediate hood, so we're OK.

Glad to hear that redfox and Jane! I've heard another storm is coming, but not like the previous one. Sounds like you might get alot of snow though. Be safe!

We had flood and gale warnings Sunday morning, so I put off a long-planned drive south (30 miles) for a few hours until the wind died down. By then, the rain had lessened, too, but there was still a lot of standing water on the freeway. I got to my destination and home again safely by driving much slower than normally and keeping extra following distances.

Our garage reliably floods every winter a few times. This weekend was a shoe-in for that flooding to happen.

We avoid the problem of an overflowing pool (lots of pool owners had to drain their pools to accommodate the rainfall) because our pool leaks.

Loved all the rain last week! Great hiking weather - lots of little waterfalls and mushrooms everywhere.
No problems here (except a lot of fleas! yuck.)
Thanks for asking!

Just a minute. Snow?

I think I heard that it was mostly northern CA, Oregon and Washington.

Just lots of rain. It rained all weeekend waaaa :( But I can't complain about rain, we're always pushing drought every year and it's getting worse. I hope all that rain is a sign of a nice rainy season in store.

We survived fine although the deck umbrella got blown over and whacked the frech doors to the bedroom. And then the wind picked it up and whacked them again. And again. And again... And then i got up and went out into the torrential rain to stop it. All at 3 am. Wohoo.

We live in the central Sierras at 5,000 elevation. We had lots of rain and wind no damage to anything. We just had to dig a channel to keep rain out of garage. Glad it was rain and not snow. If it had been snow we would be talking yards not feet.

I saw a photo of a patrolman sitting on top of the sign located at the top of Mammoth. That sign is 18 1/2 feet tall! They always plow the snow away from it so it is only 5-6 foot above the snow but that doesn't happen ussually until later in the winter.
