hi Abbie,
I'm on a hill and protected from wind by other hills and power only was out for about an hour or so.
Luckily the sun has come out today and the wind & rain has stopped - so they will be able to get to the cleanup and dry out part of this.

I hope others made it thru OK too.

hi clouds.

i bet it makes a difference that y'all get so much rain. the ground has to be saturated already.

we had all that flooding last spring.

i'm glad you are ok. how cold is it there?

Hi clouds it sure is good to "see" you and hear that you're OK.

I didn't need to watch the videos of the flooding of Centralia/Chehalis, I live there! Since Dec. 5th that is all I have been doing...mucking out my dad's place. The City of Centralia has been so wonderful... free trash and now free insulation, sheetrock, and electric plug-ins. Hey, it will help those insurance $$$ go even farther as they can't begin to cover everything that he will need. He lost pretty much everything!

(But the grass will be green!)
