2.75 inches of rain overnight

We have gotten A LOT of rain. This storm is extremely wet. My rain guage shows 2.75 inches of rain since yesterday morning. Some roads around my house are flooded. Walerga Road, Watt Avenue (Both north of PFE Road), and PFE Road itself are flooded. Dry Creek is responsible for all of these roads. Elverta Road may flood next. Here are some pics (click on the pics or description to see a larger image):

This is Walerga Road, between PFE and Baseline Roads. The firetrucks are blocking traffic from continuing on Walerge Road. The car on the left was stalled out.

Watt Avenue between PFE and Baseline. The road dips down near the creek. It is deeper than it looks.












Idiots traversing Watt Avenue. I am amazed when I see people go through flooding.












Dry Creek at Elverta Road - Note: This is still rising at 0.5 feet per hour. Elverta Road may flood.










Here is a shot from KCRA this morning. This is the Sacramento Weir diverting water from the Sacramento River to the Yolo Bypass:
These weir gates are opened by hand. These are (AFAIK) the only manually operated weir gates in California still. The last time they were opened was 1997.

I-80 is closed at Applegate, except for locals up to Truckee. There is a large mudslide 5 miles east of Truckee, completely blocking the road. On KCRA's website: "The slide occurred at approximately 3 a.m. At the time of the slide, approximately six big rigs were caught in the slide, as well as four pieces of Caltrans equipment and four employees. All big rig drivers and Caltrans personnel were rescued, and there have been no reports of injuries, according to the release. The slide occurred at Iceland Grade from the westbound side of the interstate, taking out between 300 and 400 feet of center median barrier, covering both the eastbound and westbound lanes, the release said."

Estimates are 2 days until it is open again.
