i copied the pic from a tourist site I didnt take it, crazy Kayakers!! you wouldnt catch me doing something like that. ******* So I drove down island this am and WOW water everywhere on the road. I slowed down after hydroplaning a few times. It is so hard to tell how deep that flowing water is when it is like a creek across the road LOL Tons of mini creeks have formed down from the mountains and it was amazing how many little 'waterfalls' were draining into the sideditch. Ditches were almost full, and they are DEEP! and of course, ITS still Raining!!! nonstop now for days

It rained here off and on for a couple hours earlier, not very much here either though. The wind was pretty bad for several hours.

Dipo, it was a levee on the Truckee River, not in Truckee. The town was Fernley, located near Reno.

Whoops, I missed your question sportsfan. Right down the coast the same faultline runs and joins the famous San Andreas fault. We have little earthquakes all the time, often unfelt since they are technically underwater. I didnt consciously feel that last quake as it is probably around a five hour drive to that end of the island. It is a bit of a distance away. from NOVA-pbs. snip* Cascadia Fault, January 26, 1700 Geologists recently uncovered evidence in dead trees and layers of mud and sand that a massive earthquake ruptured the entire Cascadia fault along the west coast of the U.S. in 1700. They believe a tsunami formed there and rippled across the Pacific, reaching Hawaii, Japan, and even Australia. Indeed, records from Japan describe a powerful "orphan" tsunami on that day whose earthquake was not felt. The Cascadia fault has experienced at least seven quakes in the last 3,500 years, all of them between 300 and 1,000 years apart. It has been 305 years since the last event, and experts say the next one could occur at any time. Dec 7 2007 until today....Earthquakes here on coast / one month.

LOL Pamy. Yeah, it rained (light) this a.m., and then it stopped. Even had peeks of sunshine. And then it started up again a bit ago. This third bit is supposed to be the coldest, and it'll be windy again. I just heard we'll get the brunt of it starting around 10pm tonight, so looks like it may be a wild ride in the morning commute (so glad I don't have to deal with that any more!).

We've had two rock slide/mud slide. Street filled with debris from the burned out hills. A mess. But everyone is safe and all houses still standing. I tried to post some pics, but they're too big and I don't know how to shrink them or whatever. A reporter tried to get some photos and video for the news, but we chased her off. (Not too crazy about insurance companies seeing it) We asked her if she wanted to grab a shovel and help and you should have seen her take off down the street. lol We made a sign that said "Rocks for Sale" and propped it on the wheelbarrow but we didn't have any takers. lol wheeeeeee

Beekingpleez, if you want to pm those pics to me I can resize and post them for you or you can download Irfanview and do it yourself. It's pretty easy. http://www.irfanview.com/

Beekindpleez, lol about the reporter but not about the yuk you must be cleaning up. I love your sense of humor! It's been raining pretty steadily my way since about 5pm and I can't help wonder if you're getting this rain as well. I'm near the L.A. Harbor area.

Beekindpleez pics of her street.
Let me know if you get any takers on selling those rocks. I could probably come up with some snowballs for sale.

Thank you so much, Chiliwilli! We took a heck of a lot of those rocks inside the fence and spring will be bringing some lovely rock gardens. We even found a fossil rock. I will try posting a photo of that...it's amazing. Not the first fossil rock we've found but this one is very cool. I'll have my son take it so I don't have to pester poor ZsaZsa again.

I don't mind. Your pics were almost small enough. All I had to do was reduce the quality slightly and that made them under the limit. I think if you had someone make a small adjustment to your pic program you'd be good to go. They were already at 600 X 480 and at about 70kb each so just needed to be reduced slightly to under 65kb.
