Rain, Rain....

It's like California here this week. It's rained since Monday, with the brunt of the storm hitting now. It started raining this morning and hasn't stopped, and won't till Saturday. Flash flood warnings are up all over the state where it isn't cold enough to snow (though it may turn into snow here on Sat. as the temp is dropping every day.). It's very unusual to get extended rain fall here in January. This is the same storm hitting California and Arizona. The fruit tress are going to love all this water seeping down through the clay to their roots.

I lived in a place not far from old town and you could look outside and boats along the levee were higher than the streets in old town. Mom had come to visit and she left on the last flight, literally, out of Sacramento.
I honestly thought I might wake up some morning and look outside and see a sea of water instead of dry land surrounding the building I lived in.
It was just unbelievable.
I had lived in typhoon areas and this was exactly like that in terms of the amount of rain.
They told us one more day of torrential rain and downtown Sac would be under water due to break in levees as they were straining by then. It rained and rained and rained and one storm after another took aim at northern California.
It was all pineapple express storms.
Later when looked for a place to buy, I asked a lot of questions about it in term of flood problems and bought accordingly.
