To all my homies on the westside

Stay dry(ish).

Purple are gauges that have exceeded the "Major Flood" level. Black is record setting flows. I just commented last week that the Skagit has the oldest FEMA flood mapping in the Puget Sound area, and a really low 100-yr flood elevation. I bet that changes soon!

My in-laws live in Mt.Vernon.
Evacuated last night to SIL who lives on higher ground. Skagit hasn't crested yet, but its 4' higher than ever recorded. They are saying the river wont reach full flood until tomorrow morning.

Yeah. There's going to be some tragically iconic photos that come from this event.

I have to roll my eyes a bit at the climate catastrophists.

Floods are not uncommon there, kind of an every year thing. When I worked up there we lived along the Skykomish river. The valley would flood every year, always seemed to happen when I was at work so I couldn’t get home instead of when I was at home and couldn’t get to work. These floods are another story all together. Record setting floods in Northwest Washington is saying something.

Is it uncommon to consider mowing your lawn in mid December, in Bozeman, MT?

Maybe not, but if you do it scantily clad you might raise some eyebro's

First row of homes in little ole Cashmere is starting to flood. We're at 37k cfs, and she's still gaining almost 1k cfs an hr, was supposed to crest last night about 10k cfs lower. All time high is 41k back in 1995.

City crew is trying to install an earthen berm along that "road" I think they're a day late and a million dollars short.

Mind boggling to me.

Flood stage for the river near me is like 5k.

All this river rising talk got me looking at flows. The Tieton is at perfect rafting level. I’ve never been able to hit the Lochsa in December but it’s almost at decent level where it’s not too bony. Lochsa in December would be cool. Definitely warmer than some Spring runs I’ve done
