Mark, if you need a "cleanup crew" I'm sure something could be arranged after the waters receede....soon we hope. Hang in there. Relax, there isn't much to be done until after the water is gone.

Freaky warm storm, it was raining up at Tahoe, according to the folks. Fortunately they took 50 back to Sacto, 80 apparently had a mudslide or something near Truckee. Windy and nasty out there now, I bet water is getting whipped off that Yolo bypass across 80 east of Sacramento.
Floods suck, but on a motor you may be able to clean it up, change the oil and filter and do all right. I was stuck in a crazy rainstorm when I lived in Texas. 25 inches in about 12 hours in the Houston area. Did you know that on graphics for the weather radar, after green, yellow and red is purple for rain intensity? Never drive across water, it may be rising fast, seen it happen |

My internet access just came back online. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif)
I just got back into the shop this morning and everything is absolutely perfect! We really dodged a bullet here. Water came up to our doorstep and that's it. WHEW! We are so lucky to be up a little higher than everyone else. The other shops on our street got about 2 feet of water inside. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) On Friday night at about midnight, Allison and I stopped by the shop to check things out. Brandon showed up and we commiserated about the potential for flooding. Allison and I left at about 12:45 to get some sleep and Brandon stayed behind. There were no signs of flooding and I honestly didn't think it was going to happen ((IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pinch.gif)). At 1:30 Brandon called and said that water was already halfway up out driveway and about a foot deep on our street. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) So I grabbed my dad's truck and quickly went down to start prepping. Brandon, our Landlord, his son, and I quickly put up the wood bracing in front of the roll up doors and stapled plastic to it. By about 3 am we had all of the roll up doors blocked off. Brandon and I were able to get two trips to get sandbags before the water got too deep and I wasn't comfortable driving my dad's truck anymore. So I parked it on higher ground, left my wallet, keys and cell phone inside. Brandon and I set to raising all the cars with whatever we could find. Finally at about 6:30 am we started the trek through chest deep flood waters for home. It was pretty scary to be walking through some of the water, because of the currents, but we made it just fine. I slept for about three hours and then we got up and spent Saturday trying to find a way to see how bad the damage was. Sat was sunny, so the immediate flood danger was over. I was able to get a boat ride to the shop and look around. From the outside it looked like we had gotten 2 inches in the shop. Which would have been fine. So that was a great relief. At about 8 pm last night the waters will still too high to drive. So there was nothing to do until this morning. Thanks again for everyone's concern and offers of assistance. I'm happy to be able to say that we're fine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/grouphug.gif) |

For those of us not in the know, is this a low lying area ( New Orleans) or just near a flood prone waterway?? Glad to see all is O.K. at your shop anyway (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

napa river ... combination of heavy rains and warm wind which melted the snow in the mountains and high tide which prevents the river to empty out in the bay/ocean as usual ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Andy |

I went and took a peek.
Brandon was pushing mud down the driveway. The water did not get into the shop. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Brandon gets more water on the floor when he color sands (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) As for tonight...Flood warnings for Napa river and small streams are in effect. The Flooding in Napa is only limited to a small low lying area . All the water drains down from the mountains and hills and funnels to this low point and bottlenecks. Plus, all the city storm drains feed the river. The biggest problem is, a large number of homes and businesses are in the flood plain...Estimates of $60Mil have be given (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) This week will see up to 7 foot high tides as well (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) KT |
