It has been raining, often HARD, since dawn. This is what we are still facing tonight:
The storm is moving southeast, as you can see by the line of heavy rains headed for us. We live just a smidge to the northeast of the capital S in San Jose, in the irregular yellow-orange pentagon shape.
We have basement leakage/seepage from the waterlogged soil that is under the driveway abutting the basement wall, despite pretty good drainage that was put in place when we poured the driveway and redid the gutters. We haven't had this before in the 15 years we've lived in the house, despite the fact that there is an old sump pump (non-working, as it turns out) in the basement. The seepage is not from the sump however.
Charles has been periodically draining water out of the pool and dumping it behind the garage.
I hope the RV is OK! It is stored in an open gravel-covered yard.
Schools all around the Bay area were closed today. That pic you might have seen on the NBC evening news of a humongous tree that crushed a car and a house was about 1/2 mile from my house.
I was hoping the rain would bring Loki to the cat lady's porch and the trap we set for him, but no such luck.
