I ought to go up the Oakland Road and see if that's opened up there.
00:02
They had it closed, you know, the Mutslow and so forth.
00:07
So they still might be working on that.
00:14
Oh, mud flow, is that from one of the recent storms or just damaged from last year?
00:23
Yeah, recent storm and the burned areas, you know.
00:31
Yeah, we haven't had too much water, we've had some room, but it wasn't really anything to mention pretty much.
00:38
So I was just curious about that.
00:47
Well, I measured 20-hundred here,
00:55
what, two or three, I guess three days ago now.
00:59
Thank you.
01:03
All right, we had little like sprinkles, what was it? Thursday? Wednesday or Thursday?
01:09
And it was enough for me to turn the sprinklers off for a while, but it really didn't amount to much.
01:14
It wouldn't any register on the re-engage at all.
01:18
But there are some places that you could actually watch the water falling from the sky as you're going down.
01:24
I figure you could see it just pouring in spots.
01:27
Here is this sprinkler.
01:29
There's enough to make the humidity higher.
01:37
Yeah,
01:40
I'm gonna go up Oakland Road here now and check that out.
01:47
Yeah, it's, we got fog down in the, I'm gonna say Redlands area,
01:54
on out to the west of, you know.
01:57
Looks like it ends to the east in Redlands.
02:06
If they've been out there, it was clear you couldn't tell, obviously.
02:10
But I mean, did you know if the heavy equipment up there was kind of flattened it out?
02:16
I kind of missed that.
02:27
I was saying, did you notice whether there is heavy equipment going up there to smooth out the work? You said it has washed out.
02:36
No, I just got on Oakland Road.
02:38
I got a turn to defroster on and locked up inside here, so I don't like them to clear it.
02:45
Now I'm going to go ahead.
02:47
But they had to close off yesterday or was it the day before.
02:53
Just below what's called the name of the street is Pendleton, Pendleton Drive.
02:59
Looks like it might be open to further up near Oakland or something now.
03:15
Oh, okay, good, Will maybe it got up there and flatten it out with a thosier or something kind of smooth it out and put some p-grabble out there.
03:26
...boha-boh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-a...
03:35
Yeah, I can't, that could be.
03:37
Oh, I got some signage up here.
03:44
This is really brutal looking at this sunshine up here.
03:49
Even with the visor now, it's just kind of hazing and so forth.
04:00
We got Webercast, but it looks like it's breaking up now, the sun's coming out and burning it off, so it looks like we'll have sunshine here in a little bit.
04:09
Getting on the five-freeway northbound, off the class, South Orange County.
04:15
And heading into the breakfast, I'm probably about 15 minutes away.
04:22
Okay, well I just turned around, I'm going west now.
04:25
It's still blocked off at the same location as it was two days ago, so it goes downhill and kind of in a somewhat in, uh,
04:39
off the creek bed there, so it probably, uh, creek probably overload and flooded the road.
04:47
So, uh, anyway, uh...
