Like the slide 14 years ago, I was up all night last night. There was some presentiment, perhaps, as I heard the huge clap of thunder at 3:32 a.m. this morning and heard the deluge of rain, I was reminded of similar happenings 14 years ago when the last devastating landslde had occurred. I remained awake until 5 and the rain never stopped, finally turned off my light and fell asleep and slept until Paciano called me at 7 and said another tromba (waterspout) had occurred and that there was much damage down the two main roads of the Raquet Club. I got up and this is what I discovered:             (Click on photos to enlarge photos and read captions.)

This huge waterfall is still thundering down the mountainside–one of three created by the recent rains.t

This is a huge camote that washed down the arroyo. Patti will wash the mud off and cook it for dinner.

Jawbone of a beast..part of the detritus washed down in the deluge.

More detritus..a big chunk of petrified wood.

This huge boulder is the newest addition to the road at the end of my block.

Digging out my neighbor’s entrance

A security truck also relocated by the water.
