A couple of farms under water.  Look closely at the current.  There are actual waves in some spots.  Our little Satsop river, normally 5 feet deep, measured in at 50 feet deep yesterday!








Speed limit sign.  I love it.














The road going under the water!
















A warning sign, barely above water!













Elma's lumber yard, flooded.















The last time we saw our road.  Now it is under a couple of feet of water!














Coop and some friends at our road, now flooded.  














Ev watching the waterfall the flood has made of our road.

  1. Julie! I can't believe how bad the flooding is there! I am so glad your house is on a hill, otherwise what would you even do? How do the people in your town cope with their houses being flooded? On a more positive note, at least Grant gets some days off work!
    This blog is a great idea.

  3. This is CRAZY! I can't believe you are in the middle of all that. It looks like you need to bust into that lumberyard and start building an ark! I am so excited that you have a blog, now I shall STALK you! Here is ours, ok, mine, Matt has nothing to do with it! critterich.blogspot.com Stay safe!

  4. Pretty amazing, isn't it!? It does happen every few years but 2 years in a row is a bit much. I'm sad to hear about the South Elma bridge. The one near our house is also damaged....wiped out the whole shoulder and left only posts on our side of the approach to the bridge. We can still cross it but it's a bit unsettling. Good to see you made it on Sunday! Koni
