So I saw a map recently of levees that FEMA had just declared "unaccredited" -- and I wasn't surprised to see that many of them were in CA ... or AZ ... or LA ... or York, PA. Wait a minute -- York, PA? I grew up near there and once worked really near to there and I would never have expected it to be at risk.
So to those of you who live near the White Rose city -- now would be a good time to make sure you know how to swim, to store your most valuable posessions in the attic and to think about installing a (multi-purpose) sand box in the back yard!
