LIVERMORE, CA —Jean Runge grabbed this photo of flood waters rushing through Arroyo Mocho which runs behind her home during the New Year's Eve storm that struck Livermore with record rainfall causing numerous road closures throughout the area due to flooding and mudslides.

Originating on the western slope of Mount Mocho in the northeast corner of Santa Clara Countythe arroyo flows west to Mines Road which it follows northwest into Alameda County, eventually joining South San Ramon Creek to become Arroyo de la Laguna, which in turn flows to Alameda Creek and on to the San Francisco Bay, according to the website for the Alameda Creek Alliance.
