1. My dear Ellen Forradalom!

Ain't that it?

Our rain last night was gentle...but we're not at risk for mudslides, either...

Somebody said there are four seasons here: Fire, flood, earthquake and drought...:scared:

Yup...sure do love living here!

5. Home of six of the seven signs of the apocalypse: that's southern California.

I'm just waiting for the hills to slough.

6. This is why I live in Wisconsin.

Fires don't get this bad, no potential for feelable earthquakes, and no mudslides.

8. Californians say that WI winters are a natural disaster

Having experienced -35 F at my parents' home, I am inclined to agree with them.

9. To Californians who don't live in the Mountains, 1/4" of snow is a major disaster.

Here, the schools don't close, and up by Lake Superior it's called Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
