Hilary Hits

[Jim McCulloch]

Hurricane Hilary is beginning to pound Southern California, with as much as 10 inches of rain predicted for our auriferus mountain and desert areas. I even viewed a broadcast from a NZ TV channel on YouTube detailing what might happen.  Here's hoping that Muy Mucho Oro gets revealed, but with without loss of life.

So Jim, you still afloat? It looked like it got pretty wet out there...

Dave, we only got about 1.5 inches at my place,  probably about the same at RSC to the West.

However,  Palm Springs got slammed. How did your friends in Forest Falls fare? I saw a video of boulders that were the size of small cars being swept along by the flooding there. HH Jim

So the Dale probably got hammered as well.

Hi Jim, they were out of town at the time and we still haven't heard. That was eye-opening video

of those boulders being pushed down the street by the force of the mudslide wasn't it...

Glad you're okay.
