Western Railroad Discussion > Outrunning the Storm at Deeth, NevadaDate: 04/23/15 19:50 Outrunning the Storm at Deeth, Nevada Author: JDLX Often overlooked in the media reporting on the California drought is the similar impacts being felt in surrounding states, especially Nevada. In Elko County we are in the midsts of four days of storms that, while not ending the drought, will definitely help. This afternoon, I was in the right place at the right time to catch eastbound autoracks racing to stay ahead of an impressive cell...lots of rain, lightning, and wind in this one. Location is Deeth, Nevada, on the old WP.

To answer the other questions, I drove through the blackness on the way back to Elko, around Elburz the rain was coming down fast enough to have a couple inches of standing water on I-80. However, storm came around the south side of Elko Mountain and missed the town completely... Thanks for looking...
