Weather Woes

The crazy river will crest in two hours. It will be anywhere between 13-16 feet. It floods at 14 feet. It reaches my house at 16 feet. In 2006, it was 21 feet. I'm probably okay, but still a little nervous.

There is a sink hole in the only road out of my neighborhood. I will probably have to park above the sink hole and walk home. Could be interesting....

This is the latest information from Snohomish County Emergency Management (as of 3:45 am this morning):
