Rained on 87 and 85 on my way home for lunch today. Only lasted about 10 minutes. Enough that I had to turn my wipers on.

Driving the company van today it drizzled in Cupertino/San Jose a little bit and when I had to run to Livermore after 2:20pm it just basically was dumping all the way up from the end of Sunol 680 out to Airway Boulevard in Livermore. More than 1 person hydroplaned and the standing water literally looked like it was bubble bath from all the dirt and oils. NO BUENO.

Glad to be home safe. Saw 2 accidents on 580 and 1 on 680 on my way back down here. Both looked like spinouts.

It rained a little bit this morning in Sac. Then cleared up and was sunny all afternoon. Got the my night job around 445 and was warm and sunny. Went out to my car around 7 and it was POURING.

Drive to Roseville from West Sac at about 7 and just got SAH-LAMMED by a freaking monsoon! Buckets upon buckets of heavy rain so loud I couldn't hear Nicole talking. And the water pooled up nice and deep along Business 80. Then hit Madison and it just.. went away. But yeah, crazy stuff. Slow down out there and be careful.
