We've had a lot of rain this summer. The rivers are swollen, there's been flooding. The road to Anchorage and the road to Delta (and that's about all we have for roads here in Fairbanks, except the dirt road to the North Slope) are closed. The Governor is in town to view this "disaster area". There's another road closed too -- the one going past the Air Force base. That's because Bush is in town too, on his way to China, and not going off the base.
