Floods in Tracy, California, watch

I went to hunt north of Sacramento on Wednesday, and saw all the area under the I-5 causeway flooded with water. At least now we know that the causeway and levees work. Officials predict that this 2006 year is not going to be like the El-Nino 1998, because the snow pack is not as thick.

Tracy seems to sit pretty for now. Like I said, our only real problem would be a big breach at Delta Mendota. The 6m is sort of lowish, yes, but it's hard to see how the lower Delta would swell 6m up even with El Nino.
