They say that it's a new record with the rainfall. They say that the last record of note was 1983. I remember all the rain from that year. I'd have to slog through an ocean to get to the math portables as a lake would form between the two trailers.
Then I'd have to go all the way up to the history wing and sit in class dripping wet.
Then I'd walk home! And I pretty much was soaked to the bone.
Yes, those memories never leave you.
Raised in Los Gatos, I moved back here. Learn some history as well as current events and get steeped in the culture of a bedroom community that is uniquely Silicon Valley. See the day to day doings from my eyes as I walk around and try out new and old restaurants and shops. Help me remember names of stores of times gone by. We moved here in 1976, and I've watched the town grow from an artists' community to the rich bedroom community of today.

Hi yes I was in the Los Gatos Crek during the flash flood! Moody Gulch clogged and the county set a charge to free it. My friends and I were tubing in the creek when it let go! Needles to say we made into Lexington dam in Record time! Also numerous mud slides that changed the roads forever.
Ah but did you bring snow down in Jan of '84 also? I think that was the year that there was snow up in the mountains...enough to put in the backs of pickup trucks and have a snowball fight right before the final bell rang.
