Storm prep- free sand bags

https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/5976/Sandbags

I live in Contra Costa county which means I was able to get free sand bags this afternoon. The link above specifies several locations in the county that provide the bags and sand to make up your sandbags. I’d imagine this is available in most California counties.

I also have my pump all set up and ready to plug in, some trenches dug, and drain pipe fitted to my rain gutter downspouts that should send the water coming off of the roof out to the storm drain in the street. I’m hoping this will prevent the pooling up against the house that we experienced during the last big rain.

There’s still time to get ready before the next Pineapple Express hits, good luck NCKA and stay dry.
