Ok, just got back from taking the kids to school. I took my Lifted PU and couldn't keep it straight going down the road. When the kids got out of the truck at school, the rain blew inside the truck and SOAKED the interior....it's raining and blowing that hard! The Elkhorn Causeway, which is on I-5 between Woodland and the Sacramento Airport, is flooded with wind gusts reported at 70 mph. The CHP are escorting cars through there. Big Rigs are being held at SR 113 for sb traffic and not being allowed over the causeway right now. However, the worst of the storm is supposed to hit in 2 to 3 hours, about the time Mrs BBT heads to school. Since she has to go to Sacramento Via I-5, she isn't gonna go due to the flooding on the causeway and the dangerous winds. So, anyway, I 'm on my way back from taking the kids to school and am in line of cars at a 4 way stop. BOOOOOOMMMM! I hear a loud noise. The car RIGHT BEHIND me had a HUGE Oak Limb fall of a tree and land on their hood. I got out and made sure they were ok...they were so I got the hell outta Dodge. I get home, and my portable carport over the Biesemeyer is COMPLETELY GONE!!!! At this point, there isn't much I can do with the boats but hope that they come out ok when it's all over with. I also lost some Vinyl siding off my house (It has vinyl siding all the way around), lost 1 gutter, and MANY shingles off the roof (Cedar shake). I was planning on redoing the roof anyways this summer.....hopefully it holds out.

I hear ya Hud! This is a nasty one. Thunderstorms this afternoon too. I was just looking at the Lightning hits and it looks like it just made land up in NorCal. Here's a pretty cool site where you can check out current data on lightning strikes http://www.lightningstorm.com/tux/js...splay_free.jsp
Damn, K-flat...you sure that's not the afterbay???http://www.schoutenranch.com/simplel...ge0023_JPG.jpg
You werent' kidding when you told me last week that you were driving though 2 1/2 feet of water....sheez.
And hey, with today's storm, you must be shittin' bricks.
Good luck buddy,

Well, that didn't take long this year, did it?
So I guess it had better stop raining now.

Still need to build a Nice Snow Pack so there's enough run off towards the end of the year.....Happiness is water in the Cove in August/September...
Roger that.It's only February, I guess...but I'm just so ready for some sunshine.
By the way, 3/6 is still lookin' good.
