Flooding in Washington

I was just looking through some flooding pictures. Has anyone on here been effected by it?

Seattle Times Flooding Pictures

Can you find something cool in the first picture?

Not too bad in my city, but nearby there are school closures, highway closures, and lots of traffic due to the flooding. We are talking about between 1-2 hours longer of a commute than usual!! It sucks. Glad I work 6 blocks from my house =)

Something cool would be the 1st Gen in the background I am assuming....??

You westsiders got it bad when it comes floods. No flooding on this side of the mountains.
I use to live in north Bend. And in 1990 it was a bad one. I think this years was the worst on record so far not sure thought.

Damm rain,

I just want it to snow, so I can go snowboarding this year.

North Bend, Snoqualmie, Duvall, Carnation, pretty much everywhere in the foothills is under water... Especially if the Snoqualmie river runs thru it!! Record water flow over Snoqualmie Falls!!!! And there's more rain coming this weekend

The flood of 1996 was bigger/more devestating here in Oregon by far. CJ

That poor GTU...

I came uncomfortably close to putting the FB in a ditch the other day when I accidentally drove through a deep puddle. Not fun weather for RX-7s.

lol, I love the Eastside. I live right on the columbia, and ya know, if you westerners had more dams you wouldn't flood as bad. Even the Wenatchee river is up high, but not anywhere near as bad as it got before they put the dam in.

Yeah I can't imagine how bad it's gonna be!! Traffic is already horrendous!! It's 11:30 and from what I have been hearing traffic is still a mess! It's backed up all the way into my little town cuz the main highway across the valley to I-5 is the only way out!! The other HWY that runs south is flooded and closed so everyone has to get to I-5 via one, two-lane road...... Traffic is bad enough around here cuz no one drives the speed limit! Now they are cracking down on speeders where no one speeds so they are dozens of police out here now and there is flooding... oh yeah and all this non-stop contruction!! I refuse to go anywhere but work (which is a 30 second drive for me)!! It's terrible! I can't wait to escape this horrid place!! Arizona here I come!

haha yeah I avoid puddles in my FD, my daily driver is a puddle stomper!! I drove thru some flooding with it a few years back and it sucked up a lot of the water and it died in 18" of water on the driver side and even more on the passenger side... It was pretty funny actually! My friends didn't like it though
