I was talking to my son yesterday ... he lives in Napa. He was going on and on about the wind and the rain. He was worried about the big trees in his backyard (he has a few big redwoods). He was also worried about flooding ... sometimes I wonder if that kid is actually mine ... he lives up high, nowhere near any creeks, streams or the Napa River. No reason to worry about *his* house flooding.

However, the Napa River definitely floods!!! ... I've lived close by to some of the flood-prone areas myself, but thankfully was never affected.

I haven't heard from him today though, so I guess I'll have to check the news to see if Napa got hit bad or not.

>Yesterday was a nice day except for a bit of rain and wind. The wind was peaking from 68 to 107 mph depending upon where you live. The Richmond-San Rafael Bridge was closed for six hours due to five big rig rollovers and 80 mph winds. 1 million people lost power. Other than that it was a nice day.
