Water was the chief worry of the

during the storm, according to F.. krug.
Wind and falling trees did their bit but
water did most damage. The greatest
difficulty was experienced at ComerIo
Falls where over 10 inches of rain fell

of Southern California. By Saturday
afternoon, said Mr.. Krug, there was
more than twelve feet of water over the
top of number two tdam with two sluIce
gates open 0 relieve the strain. lie
estimates that more than $4,000 cubic
feet of water went TO waste every Sc
cond. 1t was feared for some time that
edges of the concrete at the mountain
sides would be undermined and break
down the dam, but everything held.
Two men were sent to Comerio Friday
to make repairs but found all roads i'm
passible due to washouts, fallen trees on
the road, rock and debris, and water
flowing in torrents on dangerous parts
of the mountain roads, so they were
forced to return to San Juan.
Saturday Krug decided to make a
try at it and made off for the main road
to Comerio bat found that still impossible

Near the Bayamon river the large BAN
boos were so strewn across the road that
it was hours before they could get

flooded.

three men, through a good half mile of

much of the road had been cleared. 1t
