8:30 am Lots of wind and rain last night,. No power when I woke up, so I had to get the gennie going before I coudl check on conditions. The chp website reported 98 incidents for the Monterey area (which includes Santa Cruz, Hollister and Gilroy. Took a while to read all that small print. Today, I think I will just keep this one page open for reports as they come in, thorough out the day. Take a look at Mining Ridge (over 10”) and not an outlier this time as Three Peaks is almost 8” Stay safe and off the roads and watch out for each other. Anderson Canyon has reported over an 1” an hour and now up to 5” by the Knight household, even though Anderson Peak is missing data.
