The weather this week has been our typical March – lots of back to back rain storms. Today was the most intense in terms of rain & wind for us – by midday, the rain was coming down so hard, Lisa said it was flowing thru the grasses on the hills like a large waterfall. It was falling so fast and the ground was so saturated that it all just ran off – quickly. I guess having 2+ inches of rain in a few hours will do that.
We got a few pics of the results:
Alameda Creek:
Welch Creek up near our place:
Various images from Calaveras Rd down in the valley from our place – all our water ends up down here:
Our biggest concern when it rains is the road to our place and the steep hillsides which like to slide:
And a few video clips:

The water is impressive. Stay safe and dry.
We’re glad the forecast for the next week or two is for better weather. We can dry out a bit and clean up stuff around the yard.
Wow, the video is so scary.
