Stay dry!

We had a baby flood at low intersection because the storm drains were clogged, and that’s about it. The overflow trenches built after the last time the Truckee Meadows flooded seem to be doing their job.

I’m about 5-8 miles from the area with the river in between. My road is flooded and running water but we’ve had extreme amounts of rain and it all drains down of the mountain range.

We’re fine and don’t have to go anywhere.

Be careful about driving in even low flood conditions.
I had a mechanic check the connecting rods on a quad 4 engine after a client drove through standing water, rushing to get his wife to the hospital.
We conjectured that water was somehow sucked into the engine through the air intake and hydraulic pressure actually bent the rod.
