Santa Clara Flood


We have been having a crazy monsoon season this year and it all came to a head on September 11 when our area got 3" of rain in "relatively short period of time" and with the ground already saturated it  caused a 100 year old dike to finally give way. The first building in the line of fire is Nick & Liisa Frei's  Dutchman convenience store and Cravings Cafe, my poor darling friends. The devastation is unlike anything I have ever seen in person. It just broke my heart for them, but true to form, they were unbelievable; positive, grateful, humble, and much more concerned with the 60+ home owners that were flooded out. When I grow up I want to be Liisa Frei!
