Enough Already!

I like rain in general, but this is getting ridiculous! The rivers are flooding their banks, and flood warnings are being issued for low-lying areas. There has already been quite a bit of flooding, even in my former stomping grounds (what they call "Rosie Creek Area"). Here is a National Weather Service thingummy that reports that the Tanana is well into flood stage.

This morning, the girls and I headed for our regular run to the river park, and whoa! What a sight! The river had overflowed its banks and into parts of the parking lot. The big, silty beach is all underwater. I'll head over there with a camera tonight and take some photos.

By the way, in California, which has had a water shortage for as long as I can remember, it is ecologically unacceptable to complain about rain. You are supposed to nod your head sagely and say, "We need the rain."

Update.
The Tanana River is the second highest it's ever been recorded.
