"SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — Rising storm costs are forcing some Northern
California counties, including two in the Bay Area, to turn to the state
for help as they declare local states of emergency. Sonoma,
San Mateo, Lake and Tehama Counties are about to make
declarations which will allow local emergency workers to help with
recovery and lays the groundwork for state and federal assistance.
“Our approach to any disaster looks pretty similar. The way that we
problem solve, the resource request process—it’s all streamlined so it
happens the same way, whatever the disaster is calling for,” he said. Meanwhile, Napa and Alameda counties say they will cover their own storm costs; San Francisco and Marin are still evaluating. More rain is likely this week, with storms
poised to hit Tuesday night and Friday."

A lot of people are going to need buckets for all the leaks their dried out houses are springing.
My garage floor was soaked the other day.
