Attention All !!!!
El Mirage Lakebed got some rain last night.
There is not much standing water, but there is enough moisture in our pit and pre stage area, that the BLM has closed the
lakebed for now. Looks like there might be a chance of more rain later today.
We will have a couple of board members up there all day and keep an eye on it.
Bill Lattin will go up there tomorrow morning and check it out for himself.
Will post more info as it comes in,

Wayno,
Yep. Nothing on the Scta website yet. Heather got it up on the FB page, but she is at work and in meetings.
She'll get it up on the website asap.
Noticed about the Weatherlink myself. Looked at it about an hour ago. Don't know why it shows 0.00".

Yeah Mike. That wasn't a complaint, just an observation. The website has been good lately. I looked at the NOAA site and they had no 3 day records either. Wayno

The NOAA weather station has not been working for about a month.

  Just watched TV video on GMA showing flooding in Hisperia. Some cars with water up to top of wheel wells most to bottom of doors. Weather channel showing storm moving north through Ca.
