Just short of ten inches for this storm. The middle wave (today) was predicted to be the heaviest and in fact produced about half as much as the first, It was very windy but we haven't lose any trees so far. The power went out at about three. We've been on the generator all evening.

I had a blast today! Tomorrow should be fun too!

10.6 inches for the storm, 25 ceanothus, about 60 iris macrosiphon, ten toyons, a dozen monkeyflowers and blackberries (native, not himalayan), and moved about a half yard of dirt.

Great weekend!
