Most likely the towns in the eastern sierras (mown as the Owens Valley) will be flooded (from June Lake down to Lone Pine). The Army Corp of Engineers is clearing the very old and poorly maintained aqueduct to LA, but none of the local drainage infrastructure will fail from so much dead debris caused by so many years of drought. The Truckee and June Lake area are beginning to experience this. The Owens Valley is a natural flood plain: doubtful that area will escape severe damage. We stayed at the Yosemite View Lodge just outside the El Portal park entrance. The northern entrance was closed and the southern entrance is pretty far away (the Tanaya Lodge is there where you may have stayed). We like the View Lodge because it's the closest place from which to enter the valley floor. 5 star prices for a 2.5 star room, but it's all about location... Hope all's well with you, and thanks again.
