You should be thankful that you didn't live in one of the 50 houses that has 3 feet of mud in it. I find it hard to believe that someone would complain about being stuck for 2 hours when people lost everything they owned.....what a shallow self centered person you must be

I was wondering about the Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery. Was there any damage? Any pictures? That was a favorite stopping spot for a picnic on our trips to the High Sierras and home again.
