But that's not sufficient, scientists say now. And they've turned to an area of California, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, to explain just how badly current models work. http://www.californiadelta.org Science and Technology Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:25:30 -0600 First I suggest Mr. Bea learn how to spell levee and then he possibly could begin to develop some credibility, then maybe he could begin to understand the problems facing the California Delta. Science and Technology Sun, 18 Nov 2012 06:07:00 -0600 well, he appears to spell it exactly the same way that you do..... http://www.californiadelta.org Science and Technology Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:59:07 -0600 It appears he took my lesson to heart and they re-edited the piece! Excllent! http://Yes, there are areas that are really devtaasted. Now it's time for recovery. the river is going down as fast as it came, the streets filled with mud and debris.

Now it's time for recovery. the river is going down as fast as it came, the streets filled with mud and debris. The levees saved many towns and made others worse because of the way the river siphoned into it, but it could have been a lot worse for all of us. I read this morning that if the flood gates they had on the bridges broke (which they almost did) there would have been a 12 foot wave rushing towards the town on both sides. Things are slowly getting back to normal. Yesterday and today I'm not quite sure what to do with myself because Thursday and Friday were so chaotic, but there's nothing like laundry to get life back on track.thank you for your thoughts. xoxo PRI: Public Radio International
