Just in time for rainy season, the News and Review is here to cheer us up with an examination of worst-case flood scenarios, and how they might affect the most vulnerable Sacramentans–the “very young and very old.” Be careful when you read this, because, in the spirit of Orson Welles, much of the emergency sections of it are told in present tense, with only that helpful phrase “as an example” stuck in there at the beginning to save them from being sued by me when I blow my life savings on a giant raft to save my family from the flood waters the paper has assured me are flowing toward my home.
I’m glad SNR had the courage to focus on how those in the community who need 24 hour care and monitoring might fare in such a catastrophe, because usually preschoolers and the elderly can kinda be left alone to figure stuff out.
