Again up here in Modesto, the ground is so saturated the rains won’t percolate into the ground. Almond and Walnut trees toppled by the saturation and high winds.
City crews can’t keep up with the demand to pump out storm drains etc. Partly cloudy at the moment, but that’s due to change.
Wonder where I put my wet suit?!?
I hope we are getting lots of snow in the Sierra’s....
I have many friends who live in the burn areas. Praying they are kept safe. I am so very concerned for them.
Oh, it could be worse here! I remember one New Year’s Eve a few years ago — we got something like 1.5” overnight. Our sump pump under our house usually shoots out water for about five seconds, then the bucket fills up (taking anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours) and then the process repeats. That New Year’s Eve when we had all the rain, our pump ran *continuously* for five hours! That was a heck of a storm.
