High Water

Geek Girl started 3rd grade this week and it's been raining all week.

Today the water got quite high:


There's a sidewalk behind that tree. Luckily the water's gone down and I"ll be able to go pick her up from school, but I was worried for a while.

Edited to add 5 hours later...

Another storm came through. This time the water was even higher than last time.


Here's what it looks like now that the water has gone down.


Daddy Geek is riding his bike home. Hopefully he hasn't been struck by lightning or drowned...

And another update, this time from Daddy Geek. Yes, I rode home in the storm. I had to detour around some flooded areas on my usual route home, but it wasn't too bad. I sang "Row, row, row your bike" with one of my fellow commuters today; it was good for a laugh and to alert the crazy runners that two crazy cyclists were coming up behind them.

Now, as long as the little seep of water coming into the basement stays a little seep, and assuming we don't lose power like all of San Diego, we ought to be OK...
