Stay safe. I remember those torrential rains that would break a drought when we lived in Yucaipa. We lived in the Upper part and would watch the rain like a river going down Date Ave as it came off the foothills running downhill and would flood out lower Yucaipa. We also could see the fire in the Anaheim Hills from the upstairs windows. We lived at 3200 feet so you have all that water coming down out of the mountains and foothills into the basin areas.

Hope everyone stays safe and stay away from the dips in the roads that flood.

I remember a customer calling me and asking me where “Yucca-pa” was, as he needed to dispatch a truck to pick up some eggs from “Yucca-pa Egg Ranch”.....it took a sec, but I got his gist.
