Big water at the Sonoma Coast, 12/4/07 (Pics)

[Chigworthy]

We've got a decent system moving in at the end of the week, and we just had one last night. This is what our water looks like when fun weather is brewing over the Pacific:
(edit:Where I took these photos is about 50 feet above the mean water level.)

There's no real trouble, it's like this every year. I was just taken by the beauty (as I always am) of our coastline and snapped some pics today.

The real trouble starts in February when the Russian River floods and washes all the hayseeds who continually rebuild their shitty houses in the floodplain away. But everyone knows that flooding serves a valuable purpose in leeching away salts, depositing topsoil, beach-building, and replenishing water tables. Thats why I shake my fist and laugh as mildewed stilt-houses crumble out to sea.
