We got some bombgenesis or whatever the fuck you wanna call it.
No power in the city or the beach house. First world problem i guess. Winds hit 90 mph today.
Schools closed to boot even though they had power.

Rain train going on right now in NW WA/Canada. How's everyone up there doing?

Sounds like the highways around the lower mainland of BC are fukked. People swept off the highways in their cars by mudslides etc. Hospitals are stranded in the middle

Vancouver is effectively cut off from the rest of the country, as every land route out of the city is closed/destroyed. Trains have derailed, and bridges have washed out. Hundreds of motorists stranded between landslides are being helicoptered out by the military. Farther north, an entire city of 7000 has been evacuated.

They’re trying to helicopter out patients
and helicopter in doctors and medications/oxygen/blood etc - but super high winds are playing havoc with those plans and now it’s dark out.

This will be an interesting test of the flood wall Mt. Vernon invested in some years back“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Bombogenesis aka Bomb Cyclone
When did it actually stop raining? Just checked the link above and it’s at 120,000 cubes and 37ft gage height.
Not familiar with that drainage (looks like around 20,000 cubes was baseline?), if it stopped raining in the last 48hrs you can probably expect those numbers to continue to rise. Vibes to all those affected.
That said, might be time to jump ship to Kiewit or Skanska and start cleaning house on disaster relief.

Yikes, I heard the PNW weather was rough yesterday but I just heard about the wind in the Seattle area. The amount of water coming down the Skagit River is insane.

Growing up between the mouths of the Stilly and the Skagit, flooding in Fall and Spring was something you learned to live with. They used to pull us out of school to stack sandbags. Originally Posted by KQ

The red circle in this screen grab is where our house was located on Whidbey Island. Happy Lane it was called. We used to watch from our kitchen as the storms battered those houses down on the waterfront. They get hammered quite regularly, but this is a bad one for sure. Originally Posted by Norseman

Jeezuz, I hope I never get flooded out like that. Yeahman, good idea living on the high ground.
Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

That's a road btw. A creek runs down the left side, but the whole valley was full of water.

"Lake Fairhaven"
Saw a few kayaks around town. Amusing as it is, maybe there's something more helpful you could be doing...
