Title: Oh, I've Seen Fire & I've Seen Rain!
Post by: garyhead on October 25, 2021, 06:41:19 AM: Just checking in with the Mothership.......USA Today reported roads around San Rafael were under 2 FEET of water and Mt. Tam received 6" of rain?
Up here in WA state not so much rain but a LOT of wind. Power out most of yesterday and I'm currently receiving 36mph gusts of wind....I'm expecting the lights to go out again soon.

I know wood floats.....but Tailpieces and Bridges don't.....everyone safe & dry there?
Here's hoping your thirsty aquifers and Mt. Shasta store as much agua as possible!

Post by: garyhead on October 25, 2021, 01:25:16 PM: It’s still going on! Power just went out again for the third day in a row! This is unprecedented for us. We usually only lose power 1-2 times a year!

Authorities blaming time of year. Still too many leaves on the trees causing the branches to break off more easily. Oh well, I have a gas hot water heater so at least I have a hot shower still.
