I think it was a bit overhyped, but it looks like a number of mountain communities along the coast and in the Sierras got over 10 inches total.

Yes I know that there was more rain at upper elevations, but my search has not yet found such huge amounts. That said the dams I am most concerned with have gone up a little. Camanche stands at 91% up from 90% and Pardee above it stands at 102% up from 100%. Today's inflows should tell the story. If Camanche has to start dumping it may affect me as I live on the banks of the Mokulumne River, but in the high part of town.

They were holding Camanche at about 70% until Oroville problems. My guess is that they stopped dumping because of the impact on the Delta of Oroville. The Cousumnes has also been flooding into Delta. Mokulumne has pretty much been held at high but below flood stage except for a brief period a few weeks ago.
