BIG bay area storm = mud??

We are being hit by a big **** storm right now. Looks like all the bay bridges have been closed due to 77mph winds !! Plus all this rain is adding up and looks like we should get some flooding. Almost all the power is out around here! I love this weather ! Any one local and down to get out and play in the mud?

I'm here in The City. I'm having way too much fun driving up on the elevated roadways and watching smaller cars get blown around at 65 mph. Actually, there are plenty of puddles around here. Some strategically situated by bus stops.

Big50: NICE pic! Hollister is a fun place to go. How long ago was the pic taken? And what lift/tires you running ? Hard to tell under all that mud.

And yes me and Madmax are talking about the same "bay area" . I shoulda been a little more exact i guess, I meant the S.F Bay area. I have come to learn there are quite a few "bay area's" just on this site. I was able to get out and play in the mud a little bit, but still aching to go do some more. We need more back-road trails and a lot less SNOBY rich folk who turn their nose up at ANY lifted pick-up. Oh well... Here is some damage at my house from the wind storm. Made my back yard twice as big ! Kinda nice, if it wasn't for the neighbor (my dogs love it)

Also a ton of smaller broken peices all the way around. A couple of the boards are totally gone, can't find em. I assume they blew away in the wind.

Hell ya! Thats what im talkin about. Which one do you normally go to ? And it looks like the power has been restored. It has gone from 300,000 with out power, now down to about 1,500.

I am willing to tear it up a little locally, but I can't drive far at all. I have a buddy with a lifted chevy reg cab lifted on 36" STS's who wants to play as well. Not sure how far you are from here, we were talking about this today. Might bring my buddy's gf in a lifted chevy on 35's as well. We were talkin in the next few days or coming week, trying to do it asap. Btw, I don't have a camera anymore (thank you pismo!)
