Friends,
This has been a pretty big storm, but without the media play that the last received. Sure the snow was inconvenient, but the rain over the last few days has been unrelenting. Mix into that the already saturated hills and the denuded burn areas from the Cottonwood Fire, and now we seem to be missing a big chunk of Highway 74 just outside of Mountain Center.
As always, please read the Town Crier Breaking News blog for more details (without any sort of judgement about whether it may be a blessing to not have to go to Hemet) and if you’re really bored, go take a look at the Press-Enterprise’s wall-to-wall coverage (very short walls, btw).
We could lay some 2x6s across that chasm and be ready for the Monday commute—if you’re really, really careful.
