Floods
When I was a little girl about 75 years ago, we were camping in Yosemite by the Merced River and it started raining very hard. The river flooded all the campsites. We had to pull up stakes and move to higher ground, but not before we watched watermelons, a slab of bacon and various camping equipment heading downstream.
Floods are here to stay, but hopefully we can improve on the situation and fool “Mother Nature” someday!
