Happy Friday the 13th

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*
