Salt Creek 'looking like the Colorado River' after the rain

This is when you know it has really rained in Menifee.

Bob Karwin took this photo from his back yard, showing Salt Creek "looking like the Colorado River" as the rain water flowed toward Normandy Road. As Menifee residents know, the usually dry creek bed sometimes overflows when the rains come. This photo was taken on Saturday after the recent rainstorm.
