And if you like Japanese food, try Samurai Sushi just a hop from Rudy's.

We're in Santa Rosa, fairly close to Napa and Guerneville, and it was just astounding how much water came down here all through the week but especially on Friday. On Friday night, the sump pump in our crawl space, which spews out about three gallons at a time, ran *continuously* from about three in the morning till 8 am. We got out a flashlight and took a look at what was happening with the pump, and it was frightening -- water just gushing in around the foundation. Thank goodness for sump pumps!

The glut is huge. A couple of years ago (3-5), the Lodi area removed over 50,000 acreas from production (because of prices, they get a lot less per ton there). That is more acreage than Sonoma County had in production at that time. It had little effect on the supply. This storm won't hurt much, unless a major production facility or 10 is destroyed.

I am in Petaluma in Sonoma County. It has been raining hard all morning here.It was suppose to taper off today. Guess the storm is going to stick around a little longer which will result in more damage.

Reporting from Eureka. We are starting to dig out. 101 north is open and it is rumored that some traffic is going through the Confusion Hill slide. Still areas without power. Only about 13% of Humboldt County had power Saturday afternoon. Ours came back on at 8PM after going off at 8AM that morning.
It is starting to rain again but it looks like it is just a squall on the radar. Here is a link to the Eureka Reporter...

We have been getting rain all morning, and it is coming down rather hard at this time.
Hopefully the people who have been cleaning up their apts, homes and businesses won't have to repeat the process.

Good luck.
I used to go abalone diving a little north of you back in the mid-60's.
