"Flood of Biblical Proportions..."

...So the radio announcer said as we were driving around our town to take a look at all the flooding in our area. A true statement, when you see the pictures! Portions of I5 are closed and 50+ rivers around Washington have flooded. All of the mountain passes into the Seattle area are closed due to Avalanche. It's a crazy time around here! Our school district is in the middle of it all, therefore we are counting day 2 of no school. The Snoqualmie River has crested and is flowing wherever it can. This is a local RV park and these are the bathrooms! (or were the bathrooms...might need your scuba gear to use them now!)Hwy 202 from Fall City to Snoqualmie. This is Becky's bus route...maybe she can get there with a canoe today? Snoqualmie Falls are fast and Furious, so powerful! It was an incredible view. We got in to see it just before they closed the road.

I thought it was bad here with all the snow/ice storms we've been getting. We're at 6 or 7 "snow" days already... Keep dry!
