Cassi Creek: It was
our intention to day trip over the divide to Asheville NC for the Belle Chere
festival.
We awoke to
the pounding of rain on the metal roof.
The
Total rainfall since midnight is 0.67 inches. The region is soaked and most hillsides are
saturated. The probability of landslides
and trees falling over of their own mass is high. Five years ago, we were experiencing a major
drought. Cassi Creek was essentially a
series of barely connected trickles and puddles.
This spring
and summer the creek has been high and fast.
Climate change? Certainly an
alteration in the weather patterns that affect the U.S. and the rest of North
America.
