Rain Rain Rain

The San Diego River seems to be leveling off at 4,000 cubic feet per second flow and at 11.5 feet. We went for a little drive down to Missing Valley to check out the flood.

In Mission Valley at Camino Del Rio North and Ward Road. Flooded, a car stuck in water. Hey, isn't there a geocache on this corner?

Where Mission Center Road crosses the San Diego River. That car is stuck in the water.

Heading west on Camino De La Reina traffic is pretty well stopped. I wonder why?

Oh, here is why! The 163 underpass is flooded! I thought it was only the connecting road to Fashion Valley that flooded! Everyone has to turn around and go back the way we just came!

A fortuitous break in the turning traffic allows a peak at the flood, it's up to the barricades!

We avoided the freeway madness and came back via University Avenue. It got dark! Here we see University Ave. in La Mesa, nearish to Helix High School, in the rain.

Is the rain over, yet?
