And on the heels of the previous storm, Riley,
comes Quinn which formed on the Pacific Coast
before Riley turned up in the Atlantic;
now Quinn follows Riley, crossing the US from west to east,
and bringing MORE SNOW.
The local rivers are flooded as it is.
Power is still being restored to entire communities.

The big difference is that
Riley was boosted by a full moon and its outstanding high tides,
while Quinn's tides will not be as freakish.

I fear that some of these families -- children, dogs, and all --
will have to ride out BOTH storm systems without power in their homes.
Not to speak of the homeless families.
