We are now at 7.3 inches for this storm. It's windy now, but not raining. Just oiled the boots for the day.

We live about 300' (80' elevation) from the crest of the hill on hard sandstone that doesn't perc very well. It drops off steeply just below the house. There are about a 1,000 feet of steep-walled drainages on the property that I have been in the process of rehabilitating. So far, so good. I'll use yesterday's dump as a diagnostic and go about doing what I can to refine things for tonight's freight train. Shovel time!

Good luck over the hill in Santa Cruz and in the mountains.

I used to love to play in the mud puddles and the fields during and after heavy rains or during snow melts in the spring. Hydrology and fluid mechanics .. neat stuff. 'Course the kitchen floor always got a little dirty when I came in to eat.

I have a feeling you're looking at more like 1 to 2 feet of rain there in the next couple of weeks at this rate.

We have had maybe 3/4 of an inch here in North san Jose so far, winds have just kicked in last couple of hours.

Ladyinred, Glad to see you guys may be getting some there too.
