We were blessed to have only had our power off for maybe a half an hour, it went off and came right back on. But literally a ten minute ride up the hill, in the beautiful town of Twain Harte things were different.
The rain was definitely needed but sadly this storm brought much destructions, uprooting trees, crushing homes and more.
For the small town of Twain Harte, it's been a struggle with the power out for the last two days.

It was scary close, but as far as I know their were no injuries so that's definitely a blessing

@TheHorse I'm okay where I'm at, but some places just miles away were hit a lot harder

It really is, this whole area is historical, I'd hate seeing destruction regardless but when the older homes are damaged beyond repair it's like loosing a piece of history!

Flood is also dangerous because you can not run once flash flood happens, you will be carried away or electrocuted if live wire touches the water. In my place the level of water is possibly now reaching up to the roof of the houses whenever there is a strong typhoon. In snow the danger is its weight on rooftop, once it melts and freezing temp.

Yes it is, and from mudslides from when it melts! I hope you are safe!
