Yeeeeehaaaaw! I know lots of people are sick of this rain as it make it difficult to get out, and its obviously creating lots of problems... But I mean.. We all cant help but be a little excited right!? A couple claims I have access to have changed significantly due to all this glorious rain. And personally for the better, what was overgrown with weeds, bushes, and brambles, is now free and clear and ripe for the picking. It also makes for a much cleaner looking area in terms of being able to camp. Although access to some places has been quite rough.

Let's hope the Oroville dam doesn't break. A few years ago the dam on the Susquehanna River, Conowingo, had huge ice jams break free all of a sudden, and the top of the dam was breached. This is a concrete dam. I was watching from a high vantage point and if that puppy would have given way several towns and part of Baltimore City would be history. Fortunately, they opened enough flood gates to get the ice off the road and top of the dam, and it is still there.

I just wish you Californians would keep your weather there! It's been raising cane here in Arid-Zona thanks to the overflow. Miserable conditions for almost any kind of mining lately.

BTW.... I still have a couple of my "Build an Ark" kits available if any of you are interested.......

Clearly they haven't had enough rain.. [emoji299]️

I'm not up there now, but you'll see that the Grass Valley/Nevada City area is expected to get 5-7.5" rain today and tomorrow.
good for gold, but plenty of people I know have to be going through some hell. I know a couple guys who live out on the river year round, my heart goes out to them.
49 being closed north of Nevada City, everyone who lives out there has to go over one of two hundred year-old+ one lane bridges to be able to get in. the few stores out there cannot get resupplied, both bridges aren't built for anything over 4 tons and the only way there has been 49.
thank God I'm here in semi-dry AZ. pray for all the folks out there, it ain't going to be nice.

It rained steady for 20 hrs straight. forstb3 and last 3 the most intense. I've lived in California all my life steady rain for this long never happens it usually thinks about raining all day and then squeezes out .25 inches on a good storm. Won't be much left of the neglected roads by weeks end

Well, we count the rain storms duration in northern California not in hours, but days. This winter weather is much more typical of years past.

I looked at Cajon Creek, there has been a bunch of water through there!
To see what can come weatherwise in CA., google: California flood 1861.

Blue tarp time!

I've got tarps all over the roof! It still leaks under the tarps! And now roof is unsafe to walk on. Will have to wait until everything dries out in the spring. DISASTER!

Is it a roof with little to no slope? Build a 2x4 stud wall 2' or so higher than the peak of that roof and raise it alongside the trailer home. Add 2x4 stringers perpendicular to that wall with one end on the stud wall and the low end resting on the trailer opposite. Then sling your tarp over it and tie it down. You gotta have space for ventilation between old leaky roof and new tarp or it will leak anyways. Hope that helps some...

Thanks! That's an idea!
