First it was the wannabe U-Boat at Moraga Country Club, this morning (Friday) two more car boats tried to make it across the flooded intersection of Canyon Road and Pinehurst in Canyon.

Moraga-Orinda Fire District Division Chief Darrell Lee said MOFD and Moraga police found these two cars after the drivers tried to drive through four feet of water on Canyon Road in Moraga.

"They did not make it to dry land," Lee said, and ended up dialing 911 at 6:30 a.m. for a little help. The occupants of the cars "were all able to wade through the water to safety."

But Canyon Road from Pinehurst Road to the EBMUD staging area will remain closed until water recedes to a level safe enough to drive through.

CHP units at the scene also advised that the night's storm had loosened some sizable boulders from the hillsides and brought them down onto the road. They advised motorists to be aware when driving sodden back roads.
