LOL -- I'll be stuck in a training class all day (le sigh....) Not my idea of fun in the least but better tha being in the rain all day.

For those of you who don't know about it....

Rain Streak Watch

TuesdayFriday will be the 23rd26th consecutive day with measurable rain in Seattle.
This makes it the fourthsecond-longest all-time rainy streak in Seattle. Here's the Top 5 rainiest streaks:


#1 - 33 days from Jan. 6 - Feb. 7, 1953
#2 - 26 days from Dec. 19, 2005 - present
#3 - 25 days from Jan. 28 - Feb. 21, 1961
#4 - 24 days from Nov. 10 - Dec. 3, 1953
#5 - 22 days from Dec. 18, 1964 - Jan. 8, 1965

FLOOD WARNINGS remain in effect for the Chehalis and Skokomish rivers. A FLOOD WATCH is in effect for every other mountain-fed river in western Washington.

(A 'warning' means flooding is happening or imminent. A 'watch' means conditions are right for flooding.)

At most risk are the same rivers that are still, or recently were, above flood stage, including the Skokomish, Chehalis, Nisqually, White, Snoqualmie (that one's "ours" - it runs through Duvall), Puyallup, Satsop and Tolt rivers. Not to mention, small stream, urban, and lowland flooding can occur even away from the major rivers.

Lake Sammamish, near Redmond, has risen 5 feet just since Sunday, and more than 8 inches since Thursday morning.

If anybody spots that Noah guy, let me know.


So yeah -- wet kind of begins to cover it. Miserable and soggy really covers it better.

Hope your day is better than mine *hugs flist*

Hah! Now I know where you are. (I'm in Lacey, by the way).

The rain is not doing good things for me; for one thing, my Christmas lights are still up, because there is a leak right over where they're plugged in, and I've got this strange aversion to wet electrical outlets. And the cross-drains in my very steep unpaved driveway have to be cleaned out twice or three times a week to keep the driveway from turning into a relief map of Hells Canyon.

Julia, not to mention the whole cabin fever thing, with my offspring and pets hating on each other

Ha! Lacey huh? I new you were around here somewhere.

Yeah -- my biggest fear is that with all the waterlogged ground that we'd get a strong wind and then no one would be able to get around because of the downed trees *grin*

Yeah -- we still have all the interior stuff up just because it's too wet to shlep it down to the garage for storage...

*agrees with the cabin fever thing -- the spawn keep ending up coming into work with me to get away from the house....*

I'm afraid it'll come back with a vengence if I wish that.... *grin)

WOW that is a lot of rain. We only average slightly less than 30 days of rain per year and never all at once. Hope it ends soon it does not sound like fun.

Thanks -- it's not stopping in the near future at the moment...

erk erk erk erk erk. I like rain, but all things should be in moderation. Hope it gets dry soon, so the whole place can get some nice,unwet times.
