Jebman Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 This excessive insane rain is reminding me of September 5, 1979 when we had 6 foot high creek floods next to Pitkin's in Dale City, in Center Plaza. I live right behind, in west Glendale If only I could muster up the courage to go on an historic jebwalk down there. There is simply too much rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
