The Town and Country hotel is in Mission Valley right in the middle of an
ancient river bed. The roads in that area are designed to flood. When the
rain stops, pumps clear out all the water (the roads stay washed out until the
rain stops). It is really bad right between the Town and Country and the
Fashion Valley Mall (right behind the hotel). It is not what comes down that
is bad, it is that all the water drains down right behind the hotel. The ground
is saturated and when it rains now flooding starts right away (it is raining
again as I write this on Jan 12). You really needed a boat down there last week.
If you are going to do any significant walking outside the hotel, those wellies
might be nice to have.
