Friends,
Yeah, it’s been raining and stuff. Big Pacific storm. Whatever. The Idyllwild Town Crier website has a breaking news alert describing our dire situation. Better copy it here before the editors over there take it down…
Breaking News
Saturday, 6:46 a.m.Anything that can leak, will leak.
Any mud that can slide, will slide.
Any flood that can flood, will flood.
At 6:46 a.m. Saturday in Idyllwild it is pouring rain, and it has been raining all night. If this isn’t the storm of the century it is at least the storm of the year.
It is pouring rain so hard that it sounds like two storms. One storm is pummeling the land in a steady downpour, while the other storm dumps heavier batches just to break up the monotony.
It is like listening to methamphetamine-crazed drummers wailing on snare drums, bongos, tom-toms, and garbage can lids all at the same time, with feeling.
In a nutshell, here’s the National Weather Service forecast for the Riverside County moutains:
Flash flood watch through Saturday afternoon.
Heavy snow warning above 6,000 feet through Sunday evening.
Wind advisory through Sunday night.
Dense fog advisory until 2 p.m. today.For more information, click below:

Uh oh. A meth reference? Drummers? Somebody let the interns update the corporate site. BTW, “any flood that can flood, will flood?” What’s going on there? The Rule of Threes really didn’t play out so well, did it?
Oh dear.
