Buckets of Rain

What a downpour on the west side of Redding today. These rain cells literally felt like buckets dumping. I sure hope a few of those cells were dumping like that above Shasta Dam.

And so I finally decide to voyage over to the YMCA and it’s closed. Parking lot’s flooded.

Check out raging Canyon Creek (southwest Redding) and a few other spots around town:

Never seen Canyon Creek like this before. There’s usually space for someone to sleep under that bridge up there.
