If you saw my post on Twitter earlier today, you know that we went to the Snoqualmie Valley to checkout the flooding. I'd heard from my mom that she received a recorded call this morning to evacuate. I'd heard there was serious flooding in North Bend on this morning's news.
Fortunately, my mom doesn't live in a flood plane, so they're OK, but she said that she saw some motor homes parked off of the exit near I-90 where they're on higher ground.
We took a ride out to the valley this afternoon and saw the water rushing over several roads. There was quite a backup of traffic on the Duvall-Carnation Road, which appeared to be the only way across the valley at the time.
I truly feel for the residents down there. Let's keep them in our prayers. They go through this almost every year--some worse than others and after the snowfall we had around Christmas, I'm sure it's been a real burden on those folks.
