my lil town..here in Marin County was litteredl.....with business with sandbags at every doorway ....
the two local creeks came no where near coming over their banks.
the local NBC affiliate form S.F....had a ViDEO VAN...with sattelite uplink here 24 hours before the storm was supposed to hit
Somebody at channel 4....remembered the flood here in 1982.....and was HOPING to get some BIG COVERAGE of a disaster.
What I mentioned in #55, the media sensationalist hype designed to
(oh, I don’t know what, Maybe a popularity contest?)
rile people up?
Get better ratings than the other channels?
I was there for that 1982 flood. Downtown San Anselmo was a white water river. I was trying to get from Mill Valley to Forest Knolls that morning but my car was overcome with water on SFD at Red Hill. Road was closed between Fairfax and San Anselmo. I and my 12 year old son managed to get home to Mill Valley by hitchhiking and walking. An unreal day I’ll never forget.
