We are getting pounded! Where we live, about two miles east of Sparks, Nv, we've had 1.48" of moisture so far this month, which to a lot of you isn't much, but our annual moisture is 7.36" inches. To the west of us in the mountains, they have been getting lots of snow, under normal conditions, this would be great, but now we are supposed to get lots of rain from today to Tue & the temperature is now 24°F going to a predicted 45°F. Soooooo, with the extra moisture, the warmer temperatures, the Truckee River is to flood. It is less than 100' from our driveway.
Monday it was flowing a 423 CFS at a height of ±5'; Mon they are predicting it to be flowing 14,900CFS at a height of ±21'. We've been two prior floods before. the worst it got was about a foot up on the driveway, so it is with a weary eye that we'll be watching the old Truckee with hawk eyes.
I know that it is hard for the site to trudge along without my contributing babble, but might be cutting short until Tue
