Flooding, roads closed and some evacuations

We are getting pounded around the state- especially in the SW area- but I hear the area north of Seattle is really bad too. Over 60 major roads/highways are closed according to WSDOT.

The main north/south freeway- I-5 is closed in Lewis County. They expect to close I-5 up near Tacoma tonight in the Fife area. Hwy 101 at Raymond and Montesano is closed (route to Seattle for us)... as well as our route to Portland via Hwy 4, Hwy 30 and Hwy 26- off and on.


In summary, we are wet and not going anywhere.

Hello !

Themelis Cuiper here from

Amsterdam The Netherlands.




This looks a lot like the polder in The Netherlands, if the water gets too high it overfloats to a lower meadow for safety precautions. Normally in summer there are cows and sheep.

again my compliment to your blog.

I5 CLOSED picture looks like a postage stamp! (That's a good thing. Or at least not a bad thing.)
