Our relatives have relocated to safer and warmer environs. Three hots and a cot with a nice warm shower and a nice warm fire from the wood stove in between.
Yosemite National Park is closed and people are being escorted out of the park. The last time the park was closed was during the flood of 1997.
There is more rain on the way.
Spring sprung!
