I heard it was quite a bit more than that. We're talkin' biblical proportions of rain this month! If i'm not mistaken, between Z and Ventura (not the dork ex gov of Minn, the town) they got well over 12''. That's scary wet. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) 12" of rain........I'd have to do the math (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) , but that means like 4" in the floorboard, and 3" in the rear trunk of a 914!

We've had a ton of rain here but luckily we sorta live on top of a hill so it mostly drains away from us. Even still there has been lots of flash floods in the streets in the lower spots. A nearby park was flooded under something like 6 feet of water last week or so.
I think its time to plan a post-rain drive up in the Santa Monica Mountains. I wonder how many roads up there got washed away. -Tony |

I'm looking for the sun today....our rain gauge at work shows 24 inches in the last 15 days.
I've lost 30 feet of fence, couple of trees, 20 foot of retaining wall but still in one piece. Thanks for asking..... Two of the three roads in and out of town are closed....my office is a ghost town. People are crashing on other people's couches as they can't get home....it ain't fun. HWY 101 is completely covered by the mudslide that took out pretty much the whole bedroom community of La Conchita.....3 dead 12+ missing.... |

Really big news here in the Rain states of Oregon and Washignton. Seems like they are showing the La Conchita mudslide every 10 minutes on TV.
Tahoe is getting more snow then they know what to do with. Forecast calls for some drying an sunshine with warming which won't be good for the Tahoe area and Sierras. If anyone needs a dry place to crash we have room at CAMP 914. Take care. CCLINWEEKENDBOATSHOWINPDX |

10.5" in my back yard bucket last 24 hours. No damage, but wind is coming up so we'll probably lose a few more trees with the soaked ground. Looks like we'll have a clear week, but some pretty big rocks coming down on the canyon roads. Topanga Canyon:

Well, shoot....send some of that wetness up here as its dry as a bone. We have almost no snow in the mountains so that means no freakin water in the summer.
Now thats a rock!!! can I bring my dynamite? Geoff |

That's a crazy rock pic Howard. Like Craig said, they must have shown that big mudslide video 15 times on the local news.
Seems like the warm sunny states of California and Florida haven't been the most desirable places to be in the last 6 months. I got a couple of boats I don't use in the winter if any of you southern California folks needs one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

ron, since you're snowed in, sounds like a good time to write the WCC05 song (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
And then there's the teeny black ants. I know they're just god's little creatures, but nests must have flooded and they all showed up here. They just laugh at malathion. Any suggestions? Please hold the dynamite/c4/nuclear waste tips. |

Tell Suzi to sweet talk them.....I sure they would follow her anywhere...I would (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) As far as a solution for you: !. Pile an enormous amount of dry dirt in your living room so they can create a new home. Since you have everything else, you can have a living ant farm without glass. 2. Dig out your oversize clown shoes and start stompin (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |

I am sorry to hear about the people caught in the mudslide.
But it just reinforces why I like living in Texas. The California seasons are Fire, Mud, Flood and Smog. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) In all honesty.. I am glad that Mikey and his family are OK. |
