Dolores is a bitch. We went from drought to flood in 60 seconds. I've never seen a t-storm like this one that blackened the sky so dark the solar-sensor lights all turned on, and then it poured. there are cars being washed off roads, stuck in mud, mudslides, flooding, drivers stranded... it's a mess. We received an automated call about 10 minutes ago from emergency services to stay in our homes (unless we're in danger). All roads in and out of Tehachapi are closed until further notice. Do not call police unless there is an actual emergency. more rain bands heading in. This is surreal. |

Thanks...interesting. I think if infrastructure had been that of 1932, the result may be the same. There are some reports of water in houses, they are still rescuing people out of cars. So far, I haven't heard of any deaths though...thank goodness! They're opening a red cross center at the Monroe high school. I'm going to try to make it to work, they're going to need me there if I can make it. But, more rain coming in...another band on it's way. Weatherman said it could be as bad or worse tomorrow, so that shelter will be good. If I can't make it home on the roads, I'll need a place to stay and have some coffee. |
