Yow--is anyone evacuating? Have there been slides?
Hope you're safe.

There have been some slides and flooding. The national forest areas
were evacuated a week or two ago due to the extreme fire danger (no rain
for 6 months). When it did start raining, more lower elevation canyons
were evacuated due to flood problems. The TV news folks are having a
collective orgasm over the "disaster". "Storm Watch", "team coverage",
etc. Wow. Even the BBC gets caught up in this stuff.

Maggy and I are just fine. We are far enough up that we won't have a
problem. A couple of roads out of here are blocked because of mudslides
but Caltrans should have them open by this afternoon.
