Status report, 12:05am 11/26/08

Just posted the following at SierraMudre.Info. If you want to view the pictures that I reference in the post, they're posted there.

11/26/08, 12:05am - Started out at the City Yard, where there were a couple hundred filled sand bags, and lots of empty ones there for folks who need them. Left and went up Woodland to Yucca Trail, everything is clear there. There was a small stream of water running down the gutter in the middle of Woodland, definite brown (dirt) tint to it, but it was nothing to worry about at that point. A lot of people have put up rail and post barricades across the front of their properties, lots of sand bags in place. CBS 2 has a van set up in the empty parking lot, great big lights illuminating the whole area. Would probably irritate me if I lived up there and not only couldn't park, but had to put up with the light. Left and went up Churchill, went around Canyon Crest, checked out Skyland and Orange, all looked good. Drove by the Mt. Wilson Trail entrance and Mt. Wilson Trail Road, closed as you can see in the picture, but the road was clean except for leaves. Drove up to One Carter, everything looks clear and clean. At the gate at the top of Baldwin, I held my camera up over the gate and took a picture of the sandbags holding the plastic in place at the driveway entrance. Went up Auburn and around behind the debris basin, looking down from the Maddox driveway. Everything looks good all around. Of course, if this storm is the one they were predicting, and it just hit us later than expected, then we've got a long night of rain ahead of us, and that could all change in an instant. Stay safe, folks.
