talbotlucas.org: a word to the wise is sufficient

We've had a lot of rain since Christmas, and it's been raining almost nonstop since Thursday evening. How much? Five plus inches today alone. When I say torrential, I mean it. Up until today it's been more of a nuisance, forcing us to put towels around certain windows and to time our Wallace walks for the occasional lightening of rainfall. Today we're finally seeing the effects: more cracks in our windows, more water, and in the general area, the effects of saturated ground. Mudslides are threatening the canyon areas and Mulholland Drive, lots of roads are closed, and ... there's more rain in the forecast for tonight, tomorrow, and Tuesday. Right now there are still areas that are getting 1"-2" of rain per hour, but the hope is that Wednesday should bring a few days' respite.
