first trip to the cellar for a tornado in five yrs, but had to go twice last night, spent a hour making snares to pass the time waiting for it to pass, got 2.1 inches here and over 5 inches north 10 miles, all the creeks are flooded and roads washed out.

Man... That is a LOT of water...
Glad you're okay!
We've had a real wet May, for us, and I've been complaining about it, like if I wanted rain every day I'd move to Portland, put on a flannel shirt and start thinking about suicide. But nothing, absolutely nothing, compared to what you guys are getting hit with.
I should stop complaining...

Portland? I think Seattle is numba one; in granola, Lefty's, suicides, depression and 180 straight days of RAIN! If there is a city I am least likely to move to, it's Seattle followed by Bagdad, Havana and Moscow. For different reasons, in the case of Bagdad, but politically, Seattle/Moscow es MUY SIMPATICO.
Sunshine therapy is really big in Seattle. Not as big as firearm suicides, but still really big. Don't go there.

Seattle may be #1 but Portland is a close second. Want communist propaganda? Go to the Pearl District. They're handing it out on the street corners.
BTW, who is Grizz? Former member of the CSVCA? Me, too.

Portland/Seattle. I can't separate of differentiate. Same place, to me?
But, add the Salt Lake Valley, to the list. Lately. In the every day rain category anyway.
Guess we needed the water too. Not that I care. I pay $10 a month for unmetered water.
Yes, I see how open that statement leaves me to misinterpretation and attack. But, really, $10 a month, no meter. Haven't actually watered my lawn or garden once yet this year and am a good conservator, watering wisely when needed. But, California can dry up and blow the fuck away into the sea, for all I care? As long as Leonard is allowed to sell his property and leave first, of course. My grass is green. My water is plentiful and cheap.

Since this is "The People's Republic", first of all, Fairy Jerry should be providing it free of charge just like as if all homeowners were poor black Democrats.
Second, there should be several realistic "shades" of dollar bill green, Geiko green, mint green, lush emerald green, etc. You get the idea. No way should I have to paint my lawn the exact same color as that jerk next door!
Keep us posted Fred, don't know what we'd do without you?

I needed to go to Dallas one day this week so after watching the weather channel, I picked today. Cloudy but no rain today, rain tomorrow and Friday. Got a late start but loaded the truck and it started pooring. Looked on radar and one single storm was hovering over our town. Clear all the way to Dallas so I headed out at 11:15
Got 20 miles south and clear as a bell. Wife said it rained all day and at 3:00 I checked radar and saw the same storm still over my town. I ran into rain about the same place I ran out of it this morning. It was clearing up when I rolled into town but they said the lake below my house was 3' over the road again today.
More rain expected...

They look at themselves in the mirrors of my trucks, come on both porch's & peck on the windows, etc. Im going Striper Fishing if it ever stops raining.

You guys are lucky, Pawnee lake is still 12 feet below normal and the lake I get water from is 15 feet below normal. We've been water rationing for 2 years now here in Pawnee county. The ponds are filling up now so maybe we can get some run off into the lakes now. I seen on the news where some guy over south and west of me caught a big carp is his front yard.

Moe Grizz here.
I was a member of Coast Chapter CSVCA from 1980 until the CSVCA folded in the late 1990s. I served as State Association President in 1994 and 95. Not certain that I know you, knowing your real name would help. I guess this site doe not offer the PM option. Anyway I'm off for four glorious days of fishing up in the Eastern Sierras. Regards, Rick Jahahn. Hey Leonard!

Yeah, well wait 'til Gov. Moonbeam figures out how to tax the water evaporation from your pool.
C'mon.......you know it's coming; kind of a BOHICA thing.

$165.00 fine if they catch you filling your pool in my area, which nobody cares about cause its hot! Ill pay that.
Studies on the other hand, say that having a pool SAVES water, over keeping a backyard full of grass alive.

Lone Howl, are you sure you have that right?
I know they said something about, if you drain your pool, you cannot fill it up again? And, I think, if you have a pool built, you cannot fill it, which makes zero sense?
But, maintaining the water level? They cannot be serious?
What I have been hearing is they want a total reduction, however you decide to accomplish it? Maybe you decide to only flush on #2, or only shower on Saturday nite.
This dictatorial bullshit is becoming annoying.
Good hunting. El Bee

Man... You guys deserve a break.
Had some minor flooding a few blocks from my house this morning. Just a few basements getting wet, from what I saw. Hardest rain I think I've ever seen at our house in the ten years we've lived here this morning. Not a big deal. Fun to drive through.
But if I'm getting sick and tired of the rain, and I am, I can't imagine how tired of it you guys must be getting by now.
The fishing comments reminded me of the last real flood we had in these parts, in '83. Some friends and I got ourselves on the TV news, catching fish in the middle of the street in downtown Salt Lake City. The streets turned into big enough rivers, long enough, they actually built temporary bridges over them so people could get around from one side of town to the other.

Our drinking water lake was at 26% capacity. Now at alittle off 100%.
I am still con-ser-vat-ing....went outside to pee in the rain the last two evenings...
edit to add no complaints here. Its nothing short of a miracle. Rain and work has sure cut down on me running the dogs this spring. I got 3 I need to be working. Maybe it will dry a bit in June.

Grizz.....No, you don't know me. I left California and the CSVCA for Alaska in 1974. Except for a stint working in SE Asia in 1967 and part of '68 I was a very active member of the CVCA as it was called then.
Over the years I had occasion tot talk to Don Carper from Cole's in Inglewood but I really didn't keep abreast with the club after I left. Carper and some friends used to fly up to Juneau in a private plane each summer to fish.
I was in the eastern Sierra fishing a couple of weeks ago. I hope you have better luck than we did. Too windy and cold on the high lakes and the streams were fished out from the opening weekend hoards. There wasn't going to be another stocking until after we left. When we got home we went to a lake up in the coast range here and caught a bunch. We fly fish and catch and release.
Last Spring we hit it just right in California. We caught fish almost everywhere. Some nice browns, too.
