San Jose resident here, the winds were very strong at times, but I don’t think the storm ever materialized quite the way some had feared. Roads are wet and tree branches are scattered around, but life is moving on even with continued rain.

It isnt the few hours of rain we should worry about but the sustained days of rain ahead.

Perhaps, but even the mountains just to my west didn’t get nearly as much rain as the prior weekend per multiple weather apps I was tracking. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ no matter, let’s not sensationalize this and just take the win that things weren’t as bad as they could have been.

SoCal here. I live maybe 30 minutes from the desert and it's been raining on and off for week and right now it is pouring and the streets, and my backyard, are flowing with water.

Sausalito reporting in. LOTS of downed tree branches and trees (50' tree in Corte Madera down), lots of people without power from our town on up to San Rafael. Minor mudslides around, including a nasty one that took out one of the pedestrian stairs up the hill to the residential area.

We've been out of power since 5PM last night.

From South Sacramento Valley, over new years, we lost the horse fence and an old equipment barn collapsed. The water from creek at the back of our farm reached almost a half mile out from its normal path. We lost the horse fence (again), but it was just propped to get it back up. Our road was blocked by a fallen tree on one end and by flooding on the other. The flooding is back after this last storm, so nobody is driving down the road, but it wasn’t as bay as I thought it would be. We lost power for a few hours NYE night, but not last night. Our big issue is pruning. If it’s pouring and flooded, we can’t get out into the field.
