This is the kind of photo op you do't need to have . ugh!  Great shots, Larry - The first one in the set is the one that drives the story home the best to me.. I"m a weather channel watcher and have been thinking about you and other friends I have in the area... worried a bit about someone in Walnut Creek who
is not in such good shape health wise that hasn't answered my emails..

stay 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.
