Pals in Northern California and the Pacific NW

[edwardofhuncote]

Here's to hoping my online pals out in Northern California and the Pacific NW are safe from the extreme weather and flooding. Hunker down Kats-n-Kittens, it might get rough... I'll be rooting for ya.

It certainly has been wet up here at the top of the East Bay hills.  Our well has been overflowing for about a month, we have at least two streams running through the property, and our yard and driveway were turning into Woodstock until we brought in nine cubic yards of gravel.  The roof sprang a leak last Friday but at least seems to only happen when its raining and the wind is blowing in a particular direction.  Lots of saturated ground and standing water.  At least we haven't had the usual winter ant invasions lately as I imagine they've been washed away.  Nevertheless, we're not complaining as we needed the water and many have borne far greater inconveniences than us.  Still, I'm feeling more and more like a drowned rat. 

Bill, tgo

Oh is it raining again? I'll have to look outside. - or - does it ever stop raining here?

We've had some issues here in Sausalito. First the roof started leaking in daughter's bedroom. Now there's a suspicious pool of damp in the downstairs closet. The hillside's saturated. We could use the water, just not all at once.

It's snowing again in Portland
