Dude, we're floating!



This was our canyon road on Sunday afternoon during the storm. They're about a quarter of a mile north of where our road branches off and climbs the hill.

"Are we floating? Dude, we're floating a little bit. I think we're actually floating!"

[The Man I Love] and I (and Jack!) were some 200 feet higher in elevation than these guys, huddled safely in our dark house with candles and listening to the emergency radio, while this was going on.

    Holy cow, what a dangerous situation. Any idea what sort of car they had? It didn't sink, I may have to think of getting one.

    the CHP report mentioned someone in a blue honda, and also the bmw, so maybe they were the honda.

    So I guess "Dude" is a very popular word?

    And yes, "I have to call my Mom", best line ever!
