Larry -
Glad to see/hear you're OK so far. Is your house set back from the
river a little more than some of those on the other side? Felton was
specifically mentioned in articles on CA flooding in our local Milwaukee
paper today. Our son and his family live about 15 miles from SLO and
have been out of power for over 24 hours.
Good to see first hand pix of what's happening our there - keep 'em
coming - but more importantly, keep safe.

I actually did use my Pentaxes to get some photos of the weather fun we've been
having. I used my K-3 and 16-50 back on New Years Eve, then mostly played with
my Irix 11/4 today after last night's rains. The funny thing is that I had
taken a fair number of photos before I realized that I had put it on my K-3
rather than my K-1, so I went back, swapped bodies (I often wish I could do
that with my own body) and then got some real wide angle photos.
If a few of the photos you can see my home made depth gauge. The photos at the
end of the set show the river after it had dropped to 16 feet, a little deeper
than it got on the 31st. At its deepest this morning I think it was a bit over
18' deep.
Granted, that's 18' over the portion of the river bed that is usually not under
water, the normal channel is maybe 1/3-1/2 as wide as it is when it goes cliff
to cliff.

Like a fool, I figured that today was going to be nice and dry, and while they
need to do some work on 17 on the side heading home, they'll be long done with
that before I need to go home. It turns out they finished a bit before 10PM, I
had to take some back roads, with mud from slides, missing pavement, and some
trees here and there, but I got home even it took me an hour and 15 minutes
rather than 45.
We're supposed to get another nice big storm tonight, and I'm planning on
working from home tomorrow.

Sooner or later "different" scares people.
