To Our West Coast Friends

Hope you're all 'weathering the storm' as well as possible.

It would be great to hear from you if you have a chance.

Best wishes!

Just saw the news. It looks terrible. Hope everyone is safe.

It was pretty strong along the coast around San Francisco. We had a good rain in the morning here in Sacramento, and I had great fun down by the corner, splashing around in the water, and trying to clear the gutters and clogged drains. No major flooding downtown, and only a few cars got smashed by falling trees. All in all, a very fine day.

That's good to hear. Hopefully others will check in soon!

It was hard and steady all day into the night. Many of the streets were small rivers. A few friends in Napa got a little water but nothing serious. They made such a big deal out of it ahead of time everyone took it seriously and were pretty much prepared. The cities had time to make sure all the drains were clean and leaves picked up so everything drained pretty well. I had a camera set up to keep an eye on my drains while I was at work and everything worked great. The biggest pain was getting every leaf picked up ahead of time so the drains wouldn't plug.

Central California rained steady but we enjoyed receiving it. We've had a lot of drought worries here. Seen a couple houses falling off the coast of Washington on the news last night, hope everyone is ok up north.
