Truckee river through Reno has taken a toll. Outside Reno, lots of work for dozer and grader operators. Washed out dirt roads. Cheap fix for most of the rest of Nevada.

Hope the Ponderosa didn’t take too big a hit...

I’m sitting here this morning drinking coffee with river front property. My dirt road is literally a river flowing this morning. Not passable without a high four wheel drive. The hits keep coming.

We need to find a way to dam the atmospheric river. :)

No word on California yet. Hopefully Trump is playing with Moonbat Brown, governor of his sanctuary state.
