Flood warnings in every county in Western Washington. Seattle has had six-inches of rain since Friday and other places around the area have had as much as ten! It's been pouring rain all day and low-lying areas are flooding, which makes me grateful for once that our house is on top of a hill. We don't have to worry about mudslides, rivers spilling over their banks, or much of anything like that, though ground saturation and high winds could still blow over trees and bring down power lines. City streets aren't in too great shape either as storms drains have been clogged with leaves helped onto the streets by the high winds. Still, people further out are in much worse shape than we city dwellers at the moment.
I did not go out today. I had intended to go to the post office and the grocery store but took one look at the rain that was still coming down this afternoon and decided we can wait until tomorrow.
