    Water ,water everywhere

    major downpour overnight. it was clear all day Sunday so the local Arroyos had dropped back down to only a foot or so deep, this morning they were at flood stage. one was getting close to the road level. It came up 8 feet. The other one by interstate 580, just wow. In 16 years I have never seen this one come up more than a few feet and get about 15 feet wide

    About 2 miles down stream from where I took the Arroyo Las Positas photo it has over flowed it banks and flooded a mile of Airway Blvd. It has almost reached the airport control tower.
