wondering if any hambers had any damage to their cars with all the ****ty weather they had out there.
yah mine got a little wet. Then i was driveing my model a yesterday and i went through a little mud puddle, it was horrible.
I don't mind the rain. It's the snow that has broken a lot of trees and caused me a lot of work. I'm to old to be running a chain saw and a log splitter. I'm in Nevada City, Ca, 3400 feet.
I love how when it rains it's considered a "state of emergency" in Southern California. . . . . . and it's exactly why I'd like to move there some day, I'm so over ****ty weather.
It didn't just Rain.....any place that's inhabited with millions of people and 12" of rain falls under a week...it will causes problems...many non - millionaire homes of middle to lower cl*** people were ruined.... the clowns here in so cal complain when the roads get moist...that's sad ..but this was different....
IN the pic I posted abouv is after it started to dry out. In the yards on the right you can see the line of leaves where the water was the day before. Luckly it didnt get to the houses there but in many parts here in Bako people were had water up to their ankles in thier living rooms.
This photo reminds me of a Sunday afternoon at Gardena Stadium, Ca., about 1957 when the rains flooded the dirt race track and there was just about a five foot wide section of racing surface that was not under water and the jalopy races had to go on. So the drivers just had to spin the other guys out into the water to gain positions. Many a stalled 5-window Coupe ended up in the infield that day, just like in this photo. WOW!
I'm originally from North Texas, but the last twelve years in San Diego have been quite a hoot watching all these people freak out over a little water on the road. California may be the worst place to live its either burning or flooding, and the prices are outrages for everything. It's a wonder that I can't get my self to move from this place.
We got 6 days of rain here next to Pasadena...no damage except what I saw on the evening news...it DID get REAL old... Friday was back to sunshine and today, Christmas day, it was 61 degrees, blue skies, and I put about 75 miles on the '34 visiting friends. My in-laws in Manlius NY have got 72" of something called snow so far. Now, that would get me complaining. Rain...no.
I put a tarp over my 23 roadster just to keep some of the rain off that makes it past the open walls on my shed. Pulled the cover off this morning to find a Rat chewed a 6 inch hole in the seat back...that should teach me. Joel
Had the Edsel out yesterday cruising. Little gray but no wet stuff. It just started dumping here about an hour ago. Im headed to San Diego tomorrow.... 99 to G****vine. Sposed to be rain but as long as the wind stays down itll be fine.
Saw on the news a house in Ca swamped in mud slide. They had the garage door open and a bucket T hot rod was in 3 to 4 feet of mud.They briefly showed it as they interviewed the owner about damage to house.That ****s and going to take a lot of digging out and cleaning.I don't think insurance will pay.
Some places in CA get 80-100 inches of rain a year.... I know, by the end of this year (in 6 days now) we'll top the 90 inches mark.
The town of Highland had mudslides that destroyed a number of houses and buried a bunch of cars. Riverside averages about 12" of rain a year. I think we got over 10" over the five days. But its back to T shirts and shorts now. You can keep all that white **** some people call beautiful.
It rains here in North Orange County about 10 days a year. But when it does, everyone seems to forget how to drive in our flooded streets. Still wouldnt live anywhere else though.
