What is happening down there?
Last week was a paradox in Northern and Middle Coastal California.
The wineo counties had rain most of the week and a frog drowner Friday night, actually early morning. Our fly club had a steelhead fishing event on the Russian river for yesterday and today, and it was cancelled due to very high river flows.
We were in Pismo Beach last week and inspite of rain predictions, it was basically dry until Thursday night. We had a little rain on our drive back home.
We may have another one of those Valentine Day super storms.
Well we had rain,...Thursday night & Friday.... didn’t seem that bad here but the guys just below the station fire area got mudflows as the story indicates.
Not sure whether it was that the rain was much heavier or just that the previous storms loosened the soil enough for it to start moving.
If the latter,...then with the next storm coming we will see more of this .
Nice sunshine this Sunday morning so maybe we will get some drying.
