Re:#DonnerPass:
January 1982 was an historic #ElNino winter
A devastating Tahoe blizzard hit as the (then) #SanDiego #Chargers were playing an historic playoff game in Miami

-More intense winds/rainfall
-Waves encroaching the coastal boardwalks
It's clear: We can't keep building in places as we have for decades
