Yosemite is rumored from the locals to have received 15+ inches of rain in the last couple days with more to come, the Merced and numerous other gold bearing rivers and creeks in the area are raging, absolutely raging. I've been here for 5 years and haven't seen anything like it.

I drove to Tahoe and back today it was crazy.

The north fork is over 40,000 cfs now!

Hopefully all this rain / snow will replenish the water table and get you West Coast guys out of the dog house!

I hope my bounty hunter tracker iv i ordered gets here in time to hit the beaches after all this so cal costal rain... my buddy just got back from a hunt with 3 gold rings, a white gold chain, 2 silver coins, and a ton of clad.

He said it was the best hint he has had in 10 years.

I hope there is still some goodies left for me by the time my detector gets here lol.

All this weather has me antsy to get out there and start detecting.

Nice to have the rain but killing our summers snow melt as warmer tropical storms strips the slopes.... and massive flows just starting as the biggest part of the storm is still on it's way...Safety first around creeks and rivers is the rule of the day. John

That's the history of Kal weather. You'll get 2 years worth of rain in 2 days and it washes out to sea

The staggered storm effect we are currently getting doesn't fit the pattern. Storms somewhat done right this time as the wave effect allows water to soak in as the hard baked soil softens up. Sure a lot still going into the ocean as you can't catch it all. Cali will be green in the spring and early summer. It's the fire season one must fear!

Yep, torrential rains, floods and fires. Maybe there will be some decent snow pack result from this. Good luck fellers

Sadly the iconic tunnel tree is the latest victim of the storm. May she rest in peace!

That's kinda sad even if you aren't a tree hugger. There is some loggers up here in Oregon that would like to come down and make use of that wood though. The storm is nowhere near as dynamic up here, but the same deal with the snow melting up high. Everyone be safe down there.

I would imagine the forest service would have some kind of plans for its remains. Let it lie in place? Use the wood for a commemorative site? Commemorative plaques?

This is a "little" creek that feeds into Don Pedro lake. Rarely is it more than a trickle. I took this from probably 4-500 feet away. She is absolutely raging. I can't imagine the gold being moved. One slip and fall into that thing and you're done!

Sorry for sideways shot, I'll get the hang of it soon hopefully
