Storm Update

So. Hmm.

After ONE WHOLE WEEK OF RAIN, here is the latest:

- 6 foot sinkhole opened in in our friend's backyard just before all their power went out.
- Half our family room flooded and I am pretty sure the shed did too (where we are storing our books)
- I tried to go to lunch today and within 1/2 mile of my office I hit 4 road blocks - 3 due to waist-high flooding and one due to a tree laying across the road.

In 8 years in the rainy Northwest, I did not see this much havoc over one week of rain . . . maybe we are "doing it wrong" in So. Cal. . . .

What's that fancy word they use in Seattle? In . . . infra . . . . infrastructure! That's it!

No idea what it means . . . .

That is just amazing. Rain falling on clay just doesn't sink in like is sinks into our quicksand of the NW. I know you need the rain, but not all in one week. Be safe out there.
