Well, okay, so I knew that it was raining pretty hard as I went to work today. It had been raining when I woke up, and I hadn’t heard it let up at all, and it’s always kind of fun to see the streams running down the hills in the downtown Seattle area.
I didn’t realize that it was this bad, though (if King5 asks you to log in, use king5\@djwudi.com / kingfive)!
After a brief respite, heavy rains resumed Monday in Western Washington and four rivers that spilled over their banks late last week were on the brink of overflowing again. Motorists were finding flooding on city streets, including Aurora Avenue near the Seattle Center.
Wait, so rain in Seattle still is newsworthy? ;)
About one-third of an inch an hour is pretty newsworthy in Seattle. I’ve been forced to do the Check the Basement Polka a couple of times today.
We do get storms like this but usually in January or February.
Hmm, working inside has kept me ignorant too. I GUESS I’ll take I-5 home today. (What are these people thinking? Water past the bottom of your car = not good or nice to car) Too bad that sinkhole wasn’t under my work….
