Sheltering in Place

[thatguy]

I'm curious about the safety of tg.

Meh... About 5 miles east is the burn scar that was "The River Fire" in the Toro Park community (where the Monterey Zoo is btw). Every year, the houses at roadway level get inundated with water/mud. I'm sure this will be the same.

We're up the bluff 20-30' from the Salinas River level. Davis Rd is my shortcut to Salinas if I ever need to go there and it's been closed for over a week. The other two main roads that way are Blanco Rd and Hwy 68, both of which are likely to get closed...but who wants/needs to go to Salinas? Hwy 1 is more concerning as there are parts of that that could be closed at which point we'll be cut off from the north. Also, to the south via Big Sur...We've got supplies (wine, beer, canned dolmas). We'll wait it out. I imagine the agricultural fields will all be flooded (prepare for your lettuce, brussel sprout and strawberry prices to rise).

I'll probably try to go into the office next week if the roads are open again.
