The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Good morning all. Nice a quiet here today, but boy, what a day yesterday. We asked for rain and boy howdy, we got it. The area just to the north of us got over 4", we got around 1 1/2" in the morning, and some more later on in the evening. Washes, creeks and rivers that are normally dry overflowed their banks closing roads including some freeways and they stopped traffic at the airport for two hours as well. Strange because usually flights going elsewhere are usually diverted to Phoenix, now they were diverting Phoenix flight to land somewhere else. The TV coverage went on for hours showing many water rescues that included getting people out of cars and there was this one house washed away and held in place by a tree, and they had to drop a rescue team on the roof to get the people out. There are still roads just to the south of us that are closed because of flooding and some major closures and cleanups of roads to the north. The Weather Channel shows no sign of rain today, but the TV people say differently.

That's it folks, the storm yesterday is the most exciting thing to happen here in a while. Things get pretty dull around here in the summer.
