Heh, I said delayed, not closed, but many schools are closed.Kurt_ wrote:Where the hell do you live that RAIN stops school? Seriously! You wimps!
This is where school gets closed for rain.
I think you were being judgmental with your comment...but I think you meant it as sarcasm?
Read up a little

* Some other peak 24-hour rain totals from around Seattle: Lake Forest Park had 4.44", Greenwood neighborhood at 4.65", the National Weather Service office in Sand Point had 5.07", the UW campus reported 4.37", Capitol Hill had 4.39", the Pacific Science Center had 4.40", and Boeing Field had 4.33".
(Thanks to Mark Albright with the U.W. Atmospheric Sciences Department for researching the data.)
Those in-city numbers suggest it might have been wetter in the actual city limits of Seattle with this storm than the record-holding 2003 storm, which focused more of its energy to the south King County area.
* Seattle already has 5.65" of rain this month -- already fulfilling its quota four days in (normal month is 5.62").
* Seattle went from 32 degrees on Saturday evening with snow to a near-record 59 degrees on Monday...

You get the idea, I suppose it was slightly more than "rain". Wind speeds reached 100MPH+, power outages and fallen trees seem common. Although, we kept our power!Komo 4 wrote:...Five people have died...
...Flood warnings have been canceled for the Bogachiel, Elwha, Satsop, Tolt, Puyallup, Snoqualmie, Cowlitz Rivers and the Issaquah Creek. Flood warnings remain in effect for the Chehalis, Skokomish, Dungeness, Snohomish., Skykomish, Nooksack, Deschutes, Nisqually, Skagit, and Stillaguamish...
On the news right now (Komo 4) they are showing people rowing to their homes (kayaks, boats, canoes, etc.) they showed a house that flooded more than 10 feet high (compared to the level it was at while recording the shot, so it was 10+ feet).
It would really suck to be doing that right now and I forgive Fedex and USP for the late packages.
