In the foothills outside of LA. WE took a tremendous pounding yesterday - the shade trees along my street were so saturated they started dropping large branches on the sidewalk and road. Fortunately, everything was draining - and I am not in a mudslide area.
The heavy rain just kept coming and coming and coming - got the last alert last night around 2:30 AM
Then the earthquake....
I am north or downtown in the foothills, fortunately out of the way of mudslides.
We got hammered yesterday in a way I’ve never seen in 60 years. Got the final flash flood alert at 2:30 AM last night - and I am grateful the power didn’t go out.
Yeah I got that alert.
It rained a lot late last night and overnight.
I was worried about the wind the most on Saturday when they were talking about it, but it didn’t happen.
I don’t know if you remember the wind storm 10-15 years ago.
“ We got hammered yesterday in a way I’ve never seen in 60 years.”
It rained harder and longer just earlier this year.
