What's even worse than evacuating is the people who are stuck due to snow. There have been massive snowstorms in San Bernardino, which is very close to Los Angeles. Getting snow there is absolutely bizarre; it's a warm, sunny region year-round. The whole neighborhood has been stuck for nearly 2 weeks because the roads are completely blocked with 5 feet of snow. There's no electricity, the nearest grocery store's roof caved in because of the weight of the snow. No one there has provisions for snow because it's unheard of in that location.

I feel really fortunate because the city workers in my town have been able to keep the streets mostly clear of flooding. The only flooding I have to deal with is large, deep puddles of water. I have platform Crocs, so am wearing those to keep my feet from getting wet when I go outside. There is rain predicted for today and for days to come. It's absolutely crazy.
