Washington Floods

[FinsnFur]

Havent heard from Okanagan lately.
Last time he was on (3 or 4 days ago) he was talking bout the raging water sweeping through Washington and how they were evacuating people.
Clyde you good up there?
Seen this video last week and it really put it into perspective when compared to the normal water heights in the picture.



Assuming this one is normal water flow levels.

Some areas, in Washington, recieved ten to twelve inches of rain in three days. Numerous landslides and much flooding on the coasts of both Washington and Oregon. Most all rivers and creeks are flooding, but the rain stopped two days ago, so just need the runoff to drop. Some damage, but have not heard of anyone missing due to flooding.

Thanks for checking. Our place is near the height of land between two rivers and close to 100 vertical feet above the nearby creek, so we are pretty safe from river flooding. And I'm on a trip visiting folks in snow country so it will prob be back to normal by the time I get home.

Speaking of snow country it's snowing hard here.

It just keeps raining (though it has stopped for a bit this morning).  We need snow at higher elevations to store water for summer, but there is not much snow on our mountains.  It is warm up top, raining and washing away what snow has fallen, and flooding the lowlands.

   Some of our extended family up near the border have helped flooded neighbors.  Friends just over the border in Canada have had to evacuate.  They have a basement apartment for a grown son, and that will almost certainly flood.

Lor' didn't it rain!
