Wednesday photos taken around 1:30pm; Thursday around 3pm.
Wed: I didn't notice the rainfall as particularly heavy in the area. But the storm drains are definitely dumping water here. Normally it varies from dry to having some patches of water that usually evaporate in a few days.
Here's a prior (drier) view.

| Wed #1 |

| Wed #2 |

| Wed #3 |

| Wed #4 |
Thu: It did seem to rain all day, varying rates, but never super-strong. And yet... now we have City of Irvine signs out saying the underpass parts of the trail (closer to the water) are closed. (We
are under a Flash Flood watch.) The water level was definitely higher.
 |
Thu: obeyed the sign, so I couldn't get to the same spot as 1st photo above.
There is still a small island, but it's not visible from this angle. |
Couldn't take a photo corresponding to Wed #2 on Thu.
 |
| Thu: from the bridge, zoomed & cropped to show the small island remaining. |
Disappointed that I didn't get a shot corresponding to Wed #3. Water was definitely higher.
 |
| Thu: the same drain outlet as in Wed #4. |
 |
Thu: looking upstream from the same location.
The higher ground past the bridge looks like all water; have only seen it a little damp before. |
