This is W-O-4 ROB, robbed from Joshua Tree.
00:04
We definitely had some flooding out here.
00:06
Luckily, you did not reach the house, but my backyard turned into a rigging river.
00:13
W.O.4 ROB.
00:14
Oh, good to see you're all safe out there.
00:16
Good deal. Yeah,
00:18
part of my property fence got destroyed,
00:20
but everything's okay.
00:23
Oh my goodness, it was bad.
00:25
I can't believe how much water went through my backyard.

W-04 R-O-B.
00:30
Yeah, well, I've been listening to the scanner and lots of bad stuff going on in 129 phones, including our poor fireman, ethical,
00:40
go rescue some idiot that decided he doesn't understand the really easy meaning of, turn around, don't drown.
00:49
That sounds pretty basic to me.
00:50
I can understand.
00:51
It's looking at my own five-year-old granddaughter, but now we've got fireman.
00:57
out of here risking their lives to save some idiot.
00:59
Sorry about that.
01:00
It's my personal feeling because I've lost a couple of firemen and personal friends doing the same thing.
01:06
They drowned, but the idiot they were saving got saved.
01:08
Anyhow, I'm sorry,
01:10
but it's true.
01:11
Turn around, don't drown.
01:12
Damn.
01:13
And of course there's a bunch of other roads that are being washed away right now as we speak in 29 bombs, so yeah.
01:20
They're getting their share.
01:21
Anyone out there, have you seen the spot by Copper Mountain College, Highway 62? Can anyone tell me what that looks like? Over?
