Dave Kelty, a retired Alhambra Firefighter digs away at getting mud out of his driveway on Highland in Monrovia after Thursday night’s rains. Kelty, who served 37 years on the fire dept. took it in his stride when he said that they had over two inches of rainfall overnight . He said the same thing happens every year with the rainfall and the mud just comes from one place he said and has been doing so since 1980.
Minor flooding was reported in Arcadia as well as Monrovia but no major incidents to date.
