Wow, you were lucky! Sometimes things just work out for the best. Our road is impassable at two points after even a short heavy rainfall without a truck with 4 wheel drive. I was sweating yesterday as I got poured on in hubby's El Camino all the way from the county line to within 3 miles of home. Fortunately, the water had already stopped rushing and dropped to less than an inch in both the low water crossings, so I didn't have to turn around and wait for it to go down. Interestingly enough, the rain chance for this area yesterday, according to Weather Underground was only 30%.....

They are calling for it to be just as bad, if not worse this afternoon, probably another reason they closed the schools.

My weather bug just issued another flood watch alert - the watch is now in effect until 8pm, up from the earlier ne which was until 4:45.

I absolutely and truly despise driving in the rain - and these 2 lane roads with no shoulders, do not make it any easier. the highway is no picnic either.
