I just evacuated our house! Major Flooding in Marin Cty, CA! H20 rising ! [View All]

Hey Duers in California - Pachamama here....I'm sitting in my car w/ my laptop and tapped into the local schools wireless server. We just evacuated our house in Ross, CA at 5:30AM....Water was rising fast in the creek behind our house....We tried to get as much stuff to higher ground in the house and got all important docs and our laptops, grabbed the kids and took off.

When we left the house, the water was up to our house about a foot and rising....we drove up the hill to a school and are sitting here with strong winds blowing and rain coming down everywhere...the kids are scared and atleast I brought some food along...but we have no idea what to do next...or where to go....We are just going to stay put here till daylight breaks soon, but the rain isn't supposed to stop and when we left the water was rising so fast we can't go back. Atleast we are on higher ground...

Anyone know good sites for weather and local flood advisory and reporting? And, if any of you DUers are in Marin County or the Bay Area, start preparing....take things to higher ground in your house and start planning to get out of there. I woke up this morning at 2:30 and the creek in a matter of 3 hours went over 60 feet towards our house. It rose 8 feet and is still rising....

2005 has really sucked hasn't it....and it can't leave us without a big eff you to more people....Hopefully 2006 will be better....:eyes: Can anyone say "Global Climate Change is here to stay?"
