People, the Tuolumne River is 3 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE! I can't have a flash flood going through my house! All my projects will get wet! So will everything else we own, which, admittedly, isn't a lot, but this computer here cost me some dinero!
Ok, I need to calm down. Ok. So far, there's only flooding near where I work, which is right at that intersection mentioned above, and that's 2.5 miles from here. And, we're on the uphill side of the river's banks.
The girls just drove by the park near the creek and said the emergency workers and sandbags were ready and waiting, and the floodgates are closed and warning flares are laying around, burning. And cinderblocks and 2x4's. Those two just HAD to check it out. Oh, joy.
Ok. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, well... I guess you don't hear from me. And you'll know why. But send me coffee, lots and lots of coffee. Oh, and some candy, too.
Yeah, I'm being pretty nonchalant about this, but it beats running around and panicking with absolutely nothing I can do about it.
But I'm keeping my ears peeled for Jeeps with bullhorns telling us to leave... that's how it was in South Carolina, anyway, when hurricanes and tornadoes were in the vecinity.

I hope you're OK. My thoughts are with you. Nothing worse than flooding!
