Kate... your view on top of the world is a gift not many of us will ever have. God really loves you & so do we. Thanks for being our eyes, ears and mouth.
Many thanks for keeping us up to date on the storm front. This link will give you a better zoomed in view of the NOAA rain gauges in Monterey County.
