Niles Canyon is a really nice
place. It is very picturesque. It is the home of a well-known ghost.
It was also the home of the earliest California movie studies, before
they moved to L.A. There is also a commuter train that runs thru the
canyon.
The train was hit
by a landslide this morning. The train was not derailed. Nobody was
hurt, but the train was jammed. Last I heard the road thru the canyon
was drowned so I am unsure how they will get the people off, but they
will manage. I was on one of those commuter trains when it died in the
mud flats area of the S. F. Bay years ago and it had to be pushed to the
next station by the next train.
Also
Hwy 99 is closed again between Lodi and Sacramento. There is a LOT of
flood related damage still being dealt with. Today is supposed to be
clear, rain tomorrow, then at least a week of no rain.
It
has been messy. A WWII bunker on the coast of Marin County actually
fell onto the beach after the soil under it was washed away by the
current storm. This big concrete box just laying there at the base of
the cliff looks kind of strange.
