Just looked that up sounds delicious! Surprising Iv never heard of it though since I’m in a big basque area. Shows I don’t get out enough in my own town lol

LOL - it’s definitely more of a Northern Nevada thing but yes, I would think that you would have it out in the Bakersfield area too. 👍🏻
 
Over the last few days, Vegas has been seeing EPIC monsoons move through the valley at night and on a level that hasn't been seen in years. Of course, I wasn't aware of this and a couple of days ago, I decided to drive Rona down to Boulder City just for fun (and because she doesn't have AC) and decided to do it with the windows out. Essentially, like running her with just a bikini on. Anyway, as we got closer to Vegas, I started to realize that may have been a mistake...

By the time we got to town, I was being blasted with almost 60 mph gusts, in sideways pouring rain and hail and flooded roads. Needless to say, driving through downtown was very slow going and near impossible to see, especially being that I had no windshield wipers on the inside...

Long story short, we made it to Boulder City safely but the next morning, this is what I was seeing. Thank goodness for slush mats!

Or, so I thought. After carefully moping up all the water so that I wouldn't spill any on the carpet. I removed the mats and discovered this...

Yup, about a good inch of water on sitting on the carpeting. What a pain in the ass!

Needless to say, the drain plugs have been removed, carpet pulled and waiting for things to dry out. Of course, it would help if it stopped raining and it were so stupid humid out LOL

Holy shit man, that sucks. I cant believe that much water got in must have been one hell of a storm.

LOL - right?! With half doors on too!

I think something like an inch of rain fell in about half an hour. There was a crazy amount of lightning and thunder everywhere too. Large parts of the city were dark from the power going out. It was just nuts 🤪

LOL - Cindy was driving the 392 behind me and said that they probably didn't even see me. She said that she could barely see. Tons of cars were just stopped or near stopped in the middle of the highway with the hazards lights flashing.

I've seen and been through a few in the Vegas area over the years but yeah, it may have been as far back as the 80's since I've seen it like this. Just the day after day of pounding wind, rain, lightning and thunder has been unreal.
