Ack - my godparents live in Long Beach and have a house on Napels Island - hope theirs is ok. I think they're out of the country.

Naples is ok.

Some more Long Beach flood photos here.

Wilson High School:

Yeah... Wilson is on low ground between two hills. I have to drive right by there on 7th to get home. Oy.

How are things in Long Beach right now.....Garden Grove is basically a lake.

Lifted this from Twitter http://twitpic.com/yyjzz it's supposedly 17th street in Costa Mesa

It hasn't started pouring here yet. But it's coming. I'm glad I live on high ground. Now just crossing my fingers that the leaks they fixed around the solartubes last storm hold up.

Our building has been having sewer issues since last night. This morning, the courtyard was flooded with raw sewage.

This is a bad time to be on the bottom floor, because whenever our upstairs neighbor flushes, it comes up in our toilets. :(

Although, I was finally able to flush ours about an hour ago. I pray it stays cleared now.

From the photo at Wilson High School. Curious who saw the car and said "Hey, it might help if we open the door."

Perhaps it was, "Oh no, my favorite CD is in there, lemme just open the door to grab it....oh crap, now there's water in there, what do I do now??! Better leave it open so it can drain!"
