The skies have calmed for a little while. Totals are pouring in for wind speed and rain fall in inches. Trabuco Canyons aw gusts of up to 30mph. Rainfall totals from the first and lightest anticipated storm are as follows- Santiago Peak has reported rainfall at 4.61 inches, with 2.44 inches in Silverado Canyon. Modjeska Canyon saw 1.65 inces of rain.
Our little canyon seemed to escape many of the incidents that befell other less fortunate. Some places in Costa Mesa have experienced some serious flooding as a drainage ditch was filled to capacity and overflowed. The rain and wind have also fallen some trees. A massive tree toppled over and crushed an unoccupied house in Dana Point. In Irvine, a man in his mercedes was injured by a falling eucalyptus tree.
As far as the storm goes, the OC register reports that a second storm will hit Tuesday afternoon, followed by another one Wednesday and Thursday that could proove to be stonger than the first two.

Hi Crystal! Thanks for starting this blog - great spot for information. Becky said you guys were expecting an unbelievable amount of rain. it was really coming down out here in MV, so I thought the canyon might be getting really drenched! Stay safe!
