It is raining again. It makes me feel claustrophobic again. And there is yet another flood watch in place. El Niņo. At last an explanation for the unusual amounts of rain (flooding) and cold temperatures I have been alarmed by for months. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that El Niņo has returned for the winter season of 2009-2010. One of the things an El Niņo produces is a lot of rain and floods all around the world. The last El Niņo : September 2006 until early July of 2007. I'm looking forward to this El Niņo ending.
