RAIN TOTALS FROM 9 T0 12+ 
INCHES IN SIERRA MADRE

It rained a lot during the earlier part of this week 
and depending on where the collection points were, 
the amount of rain varied from 9.52" early Thursday 
according to the National Weather Service to 
12.325 inches from resident Dave Felt who has been 
monitoring rainfall in Sierra Madre for decades.

Another source is the Sierra Madre Public Works crews 
at the City Yard have recorded 9.99 inches of rainfall 
(between February 4th through the 7th)! 

Regardless, any of the above amounts equals more 
than a month's worth of rain in four days. 

Because of this extreme ground saturation, SM Public 
Works recommends you eliminate your watering for 
the next two weeks.

Brookside Foot Path Closure

Sierra Madre Public Works crews have closed the 
entirety of the Brookside Foot Path until they are 
able to safely assess the damage due to heavy ground 
saturation from this week's winter storm. 

It is anticipated that the closure will be in place until at 
least next week. 

Do not enter the footpath at any location.
