Flood of the century (so far)

Tonight it is supposed to rain.  A lot.  By tomorrow morning there may very well be waterfalls in the wadis up in the hills, and deep rock pools where we can swim.  I remember one time in Colorado skiing with my family, sitting in the hot tub and looking at the snow all around, being really struck by the cognitive dissonance.  Maybe tomorrow as I look out from a deep rock pool and see the as yet lifeless landscape, I'll feel the same way.  My camera's still out of commission, but there should be some group pictures I can nick from somewhere.  Hopefully I can share it with all of you.
