Default Water, water everywhere.

Never made it to work today, Napa to Novato. Hwy 121 in front of Sonoma Raceway (Sears Point) had so much water runoff that it flooded 121. Semi-trucks were even turning back - looked like at least 3 feet of water. Hope no one had track time scheduled.

Back tracked towards Sonoma but faced flooding at 121 and Arnold. Saw a C5 by the side of the road not wanting to try to make it through. At that point decided to head home.

Stayed home today to enjoy the storm. My daughter in Mill Valley is home as her school district closed down for the week. Would hate to be an outdoor worker today.

There are times when I wish my Vette wasn't my only car. Today is one of those times.

A female USPS employee delivered a box to my front door at 7:38 pm in the driving rain tonight. Didn't think they worked that late.

Definitely a day for the Rover. Tomorrow, too, I think.

I had to drive around and occasionally through puddles on Hwy 85 in Sunnyvale but had no problems in my C5 (like you, my only car). It is sadly dirty, though.
