Flood. You've no doubt heard about the "Oakland Hills Fire" but no one has ever talked about the mud-slides, in the Winter following the "Oakland Hills Fire", caused by the ground-cover being burnt off. In fact, no one hears much about California flooding. That's because it is a natural part of the ecology here and not as sexy as earthquakes and brush fires.

Roeland, As a former "temp" resident of California (at Twenty-nine Palms MCAGCC) I can attest for the flooding. Believe it or not, the sand storms don't hold a candle to packing sandbags to keep a building from caving in as result of the rain. --- John Fraizer UCMC Ret EnterZone, Inc
