Yeah, that was a pretty good amount of rain for the Sacto. area.  My wife said
that the main street to our house was flooded (La Riviera) and traffic was a
zoo at rush hour.  I decided to go up to the other house and get some work 
done.  No problem later at ~ 8:30pm.  

Hope you didn't get too much water.  MMMmmm mildew.   My favorite smell!  ;)
