>Rain can be so much fun! There are areas north of us that look like New Orleans. Why do people live next to rivers that overflow?

My oldest son still lives in Napa (I lived there for 6 years). He's lucky that he didn't live in any of the flood-prone areas because he was out of the country when it all happened and didn't even hear about it until he landed at SFO on Monday evening.

>>>Congratulations on your 40th wedding anniversary Thomas. Why are you reading this today? You should be consoling your wife :) Have a great day! <

>>Seconded. Apparently Thomas and his wife still have not come up for air two days later ;-) (Or maybe they're paddling down the nearest street .... Northern California is a mess with torrential rains, mudslides, and floods).

>Some roads and hiways will be closed for one month. About 15 years ago those same roads were closed for almost one year due to rain and mud slides. I guess that this storm is not all that bad! :)
