California Winter 2019

we wake to grayness
flash flood warnings 
and mud slides on the news

constant rain pelting on roofs 
small lakes and ponds in yards
drainpipes pulsing and gushing 

evacuation a rare but possibility   
monsoon in California

Yes Joan it seems California is famous for these droughts and heavy rains. Nice write, I enjoyed the read.
