    Yes it would. In fact, if we got that much rain in a short amount of time, my place would end up somewhere in Mexico.

    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    YOU KNOW that if you were my neighbor, I would definitely share with you. In fact, the NWS would be reporting continuous heavy fog (hemp smoke) in the neighborhood.

    I've never seen it rain anywhere as hard as it rains in Vancouver, BC. Like a million cows peeing on a flat rock at the same time. I remember stepping out of building when the rain first started, and by the time I made it to the curb, the gutters were bank full! I grew up near the 'rainforest' where the redwoods grow in California, too. The Coast Range in Central Cal is composed mostly of sand. I was there when a whole 'mountain' got so waterlogged it collapsed, burying a small town. http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/gen...-more-homeless

    Back here, we sometimes get a foot in a day, which results in a massive flood, usually of the 'flash' variety. I only saw one of those in California. We were camped in the mountains on the Mokelumne River, when a cloudburst caused a small dam upstream to break. Fortunately, our vehicle and tent were about 6 feet above the now raging river that had been a gentle stream minutes before, and the road didn't get washed out. That was the fastest teardown of a camp on record, though.
