All Hell Breaking Loose

It's been quite a morning here in Reno. The Truckee River is now several feet above flood stage. I've spent the morning sandbagging doors and windows around my building and buildings in my neighborhood. First Street, which is immediately south of my home, is covered in about two or three feet of water and Wingfield park is completely flooded. The water is still rising and might reach Second Street, which would completely swamp my building (again, I'll be fine since I'm on the eighth floor). Things may be even worse in Carson City, where burned areas from the Waterfall Fire two years ago are sliding into town. Interstate 80 is closed at the California border by mudslides and will probably stay that way for a few days.

I have a lot to do today and so I can't write a full update right now, but I will have all kinds of info and good pictures soon. Oh, and Happy New Year.
