In preparation for the big wopper of a storm that will hit us on Saturday, Yosemite will be closed starting 5:00PM tonight. We learned our lesson in 1997 when flood waters flooded much of Yosemite Valley and washed away the road. I'm looking forward to watching the river rise from a safe distance. http://www.sacbee.com/news/weather/article124610109.html

Stay safe. It's good to see the drought abating some, though a more gradual rehydration would be nice. ;)

This is what happened in 1997. Yosemite Flood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XaZwHk1Drw)
As of now the predction is that the Merced River will rise between 10 and 20 feet. Duiring the 1997 flood, the river rose 23 feet. I'm hunkering down wishing I bought that gas powered generator. I have plenty of food including Abolone!
