I'm curious about the safety of tg.
Quote:FORT BRAGG, Calif. — Several communities near California's Monterey Peninsula were told to flee their homes Wednesday after authorities warned that a river swollen by a series of drenching storms is expected to overflow its banks and possibly turn the area into an island.
Monterey County Sheriff Tina Nieto compared the expected flooding of the Salinas River to flooding in 1995, when heavy rains devastated the area and stranded people on either side of the flooded waterway.
“We anticipate we’re going to go into a similar situation, but not as bad,” she told reporters. “We’re asking people to prepare for this.”
Flooding is expected to begin Thursday at noon and last until Friday, although residents may not be able to return for days depending on the severity of the event, she said. Towns and hamlets between Chualar, on Highway 101, and the Pacific Ocean were placed under evacuation orders Wednesday.
Tens of thousands more people were under evacuation warnings on the Salinas River, which state authorities warned was one of five waterways around California expected to exceed flood stage in the coming days.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
