I cannot believe the scope of this storm. All in all we were really lucky. We are 85' above the flood plain so there was never any danger of the water getting into our house. We do have to worry about trees coming down with all this soggy ground and wind and we are not out of the woods on that one.
As the river starts to recede it is setting up two new log jams. It will be interesting to see just what happens to it once it is back to it's normal level.
There were many urban areas that had so much flooding due to full or clogged drains and urban creeks flooding. There are many major road still closed because they are under water or washed out.
Washington residents and shops are stepping up with clothes, food and cash for all the folks out of there homes. It's unbelievable looking at all the Photos folks have sent into our local news station.
