Yup it's flooding again. Go figure. For everyone that called me to see if I was ok as well as my work, Thank you! Everything is good, some people know that last year my building flooded, but we have since moved and all is well. But I am stranded at home, as there is about 4 inches of water over the highway as of right now.

My in laws are moving their bosses dump trucks and then coming up here because they can't get home so this should be interesting, but here are some pictures I took when my dad and I went to check on Austin moving trucks.. And also of the highway going to my house. It's closed a mile down the road or so as well, and apparently I5 is too..

Ys it is bad there.........the store manager of the Kmart that I do maintence for there called and the store is about to flood and she wnated to know what I could do.........I had to not laugh.........as the freeway is closed and there is nothing I can go do for her............what a day......

 

According to the Seattle Times - I-5 at Chehalis is closed for 3 days now.

Glad to hear you came out ok will.......Stay dry

 

you call that flooded LOL
well we have a lake right next to topfoods in oly with a trapped honda in the middle of it LOL
i guess they thought they would have made it to the other side LOL

 

Yeah the Honda made the news today..........there were 2 other cars in that intersection also........now I have to wonder........what the 2nd and 3rd drivers wehre thinking............even I never smoked that much........

 

lol yeah they had all kinds of streets closed around here i couldnt even get the to post office so i had to go and find a mail box somewhere else then i remembered there is one by my old apartment lol but yeah i think we seen the owners standing by the bank looking at there car LOL stupid honda owners they think there cars were made like a tank LOL and go threw anything LOL

 

Thanks guys! There is over a foot over the road now. They closed the highway I guess and there is water covering it from Chehalis to where I took the pics near where you turn for my house. This is gonna be ugly. The scary part is about every 10 minutes I can hear national guard helicopters flying over.

 

Wow that is crazy, i could not imagine seeing that

 

I'm staying on my hill!!!

Glad you are holding out OK, Will. You don't need a whole bunch of water damage again.

(Hope nothing happens to your power, either!)

Some of the lower streets here in U Place have some very minor flooding, but NOTHING like the problems you have down there right now.

yeah... this is real fun for the phone co too...... lost an oc192 in astoria/seaside/cannon bay oregon area, techs were sent home from the hoqium/aberdeen area around 10am cuz all the roads were blocked...

hell i worked saturday 12am-830am.... arizona was flooded and one point they said techs werent being sent out till like sunday cuz of snow storms in Arizona....

its amazing how many customer "help centers" have no clue whats going in the regions they handle...
saturday my center took 1220 calls..... from 12am-1159pm i answerd 10% of those on the grave yard shift... thats insane.... considering average calls a day is 300 +/-50

 

Woodinville

As for Seattle and most of the eastside...we're fine. Had to go through several deep puddles though...glad I never bothered to get a CAI.

 

The weather is so weird,.. it sucks,.. hopefully it'll go back to normal by next weekend,.. don't know how I'll get to PDXMas if it doesn't. Water everywhere, while Renton got FIRE!!! A McDonalds by the high school that I went to, went bye bye,..

 

Wow i think its time to invest in a huge truck for stuff like this....lol but anyway keep us posted...!

 

Glad your doing good Will, I drove thru there Sunday, nasty.

 

You gotta do that hydro-craft conversion and you will be set Will, lol.

 

heh...The xB is already in the garage on jackstands and the welders is there...Hm...

 

Holly cow Alex! Thats Woodinville! I was just there this weekend!

Glad to hear your ok Will, and we would like a DIY on the install

 

I would invest in a VW Bug and paddle tires, they do wonders on large bodys of water. just dont open the door untill you are on solid ground. Trust me on this

 

More pictures from this morning;
