Yesterday. Make sure the storm drains are cleared. If you come cross a flooded road do not drive through it. It only takes 6 for the car to stall. Thank you, matt. This is the mess caused when a large tree fell down in Oakland Hills at 7 30 last knit. It blocked traffic at skyline boulevard. Roofers are in high demand with the recent storms. Home owners discover they have leaks so there is a long wait list and it is hard to keep up. Repairs have to wait until the storms pass. People would live in san jose remember how bad flooding can be in el nino years. They hopeed a project to stop flooding would be finished. No such luck. The mayor liccardo said the city is working to fast track 9. 4 million pump station to replace the existing station. The permits still need to be approved at the state level. The bottom of the funnel in matter what happens upstream comes downstream. We either ones who catch the brunt of the misery. The project will not be finished until 2018. In San Francisco home

It is one of the most rich countries in minerals and resources. There is a lot potential there for a positive relationship with the u. S. Think you, i yield back. Mr. Affleck, i think you have raised a central issue, the lack of security among the population. Right now we are relying upon congolese government to provide as security. In afghanistan, weve got a questionable partner in the karzai government. That has been difficult. We have a less than credible partner in the congolese government. In afghanistan, we have gone through these stabilization operations as an alternative way to provide security at the local level with the villages, communities, whereby we have been providing some arms and training to the local population there so that they can provide their own security. Obviously, the karzai govern

Russian people. But we do have a disagreement with mr. Putins view of the world, and more particularly, with his ideas about what is acceptable in going about achieving his objectives.

There are still isil forces around the mountain, but
