    In it now. We were driving through rivers earlier this evening. It will get worse tomorrow.

      I’ve actually been in Vegas during rainstorms, there is no effective drainage. What is a mild rain in most areas can be dangerous there. Stay safe.

        Yes that’s the danger. Vegas will get a years worth of rain in a few hours. All drainage bets are off.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

              We'll be fine. Most likely we'll get 2-4" over two days.

                Did you get hit yet Mik?

                So far for us, it's been a continuous light drizzle.

                  We have off and on rain, just in bands. So far not bad.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        I live about 4 hour drive north of LA. On saturday afternoon, when the eye was still south of san diego, a rogue cell, what i have called an advance scout party of Hilary, came to town with the strongest wind i have ever experienced here. It lasted all of 15 minutes. I was sitting in my hot tub in the backyard when it happened, and have a line of tall pines fronting my front yard. The wind bent these pines 90 degrees and immediately blew all of the dead debris my way into tue tub and the pool as well. Quite a messy intense blow it was. Followed by lightning and intense rain but all gone in 15 minutes. I thought the pines might actually break.

                          I was in Nevada. A fair amount of rain but not much wind.

                                That looks like aquaplaning to me - I'm guessing most of us would struggle.

                                I was only joking
