    Thank you Bricky!!

    The first two pics are of the truck yard as area that usually does not get very wet.. the water usually drains off into the walnut fields behind it..

    The third is a farm field.. the water out there next to the road is about a foot deep.

    The fourth is the cattle yard another spot that is usually dry...

    The next one is the ponding basin.. it usually has about an inch of water at the very bottom.. That water is close to 12 feet deep and the water is sloshing at the top of the levees...

    The next two are of cloud formations that went flying by us earlier.. they were headed due north, spinning while the upper layer went went at a more leisurely pace..

    Not yet.. but we are on track to break 1955's record!! We have had 4.09 inches of rain in the month of December, up until 9 this morning. It's still raining.. we're supposed to get up another 2 inches.. that will put us 1/10th of an inch over the all time record of 6 inches in 1955.. 1955 WIPED OUT Downtown.

    clear skies now...I guess the drama is over.....till the next round.

    I'm delivering in McFarland and Bakersfield in the morning....unless McFarland has been swept away....I'll watch for Noah on the way down just in case!

    So it might be wiser to take I-5 to 46 and double back?

    How would you recommend I get to McFarland, then down to Bakersfield? Or get them to reschedule?
