My son just filled me in on some rain reports from the locals. He lives in our valley, a few miles north of town. His neighbor had 93" before the last series of storms. Another person, about half way to our western "suburb" of Branscomb, has 135". Both Branscomb and da Rat had 120 inches in '97-98. The last rain that year was around June 10th. Dangerous, Multipronged Storm Strafing Central/Northern California By: Bob Henson , 5:57 PM GMT on February 20, 2017 What may become known as the President’s Day Storm of 2017 barreled into the San Francisco Bay area on Monday morning. The core of the storm was an atmospheric river roughly 75 to 100 miles wide, pointing a firehose of moisture toward vulnerable foothills and urban areas. With soils already sodden, the risk of flash flooding was high, and the tail end of the storm promised to bring ferocious winds into the area that could knock out power for many thousands of residents, in some cases for prolonged periods. Toward the Sierra, the storm will deliver yet another onslaught of torrential rain and several feet of mountain snow, as the region’s water infrastructure groans under its fiercest assault in a number of years. wunderground.com
