Heavy Flooding Coming to California and Nevada?

We've had a heavy snow year in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountains. Next week temperatures are forecast to increase dramatically in California and Nevada snow country. NOAA's California River Flood Center map shows that many California rivers are now above monitor stage and the Yolo Bypass is above flood stage and near the danger stage. We could be in for some major flooding.

Our first google earth map

I've added quite a bit to the Google Earth & Maps Tools and Resources including my first Google Earth KMZ application of California Watersheds. Metadata and GIS shapefile download is also available. Now that I have it figured out, I look forward to adding many more maps to Google Earth and Google Maps as well.
