Flooding is no fun. We lived in Tulsa Oklahoma in the early 1980s when there were two years back to back with 100-year-floods. We were lucky and didn’t have water in our house, but several of our friends weren’t so lucky
The weather has been scarey everywhere. I live 10 miles from the fires in Northern California where we just had to evacuate a whole town where my 90year old stepmother lives. It burned 74 homes and damaged 20 more and burned over 23000 acres. One third of the residents were retirees. It just got contained yesterday after a week with over 2300 firefighters from 5 states fighting the fires. The sun was red, the air was thick, ashes falling on everything. We just found my stepmother today in a motel(being her cranky self “I’m fine, leave me alone! I can take care of myself!” OK! OK! :)) Her house wasn’t burned so she and her sister can go home tomorrow, but they will be escorting residents in with police escorts to prevent looting. So if it isn’t too much water, it’s too much fire!! Many people who work in Chico where I live, lived in Paradise, the town that burned. It was the worst fire since record keeping began. People talk about California’s earthquakes, but we only get them that do much damage every once a while. But we get fires EVERY YEAR! And they always do a lot of damage! This year they are really early too, most of the time they don’t come until August-September. It’s only June!!! That’s what is really scarey!
