Steady Rain all day in the LA Area - More Rail Woes?

[MP57313]

[:(] Once again So Cal and the LA Basin is getting a steady dose of rain; it has been here off-and-on for about 24 hours now. The UP coast line was still not up to "full strength" before this hit; I have not heard any news about setbacks to reopening the line to the Coast Starlight (still expected end of Feb.)

This rain is expected to end tomorrow (Saturday) and is nowhere near the size of the deluge we had in January, but it will likely result in construction delays. Some local mountain roads are still at reduced capacity, and there have been a few houses lost recently due to delayed-reaction landslides.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

Get ready for another whopper, we got another big "rain event" as they say here heading our way starting Tuesday and continuing until friday mountains could get up to 6 inches of rain before it passes. Bear in mind we only got about 6 inches ALL of last year, we are at 20 inches downtown so far, +30 inches at my house near the mountains. I fear we will see more slides, flooding and problems before the end of the week

On the bright side, maybe the oil cans will detour through here again (hopefully without devastation). Hopefully this time they will run the entire set, instead of just two sets. I wonder why they did that. Maybe Bob Wilcox would know.
