Anyone Need Some Water?

We have plenty! After days and days of rain and some flooding this past weekend, we got the big one today. Two of the roads leading out of Duvall were closed and the last one out was backed up as everyone was trying to get out. I left for work this morning at 7:30 but wasn't able to get out so I went home. Despite not getting more than a few miles from home, I didn't get back until 8:30. They are saying the Snoqualmie River is approaching record levels but was expected to crest near Carnation at 10:00am at a flood stage of 60.3 feet! As I am writing I am watching Fox News and they just showed aerial footage of the flooding here. Here are some photos I took this morning of the flooding in the valley.

These photos are of the road I usually take across the valley on my way to work. The bridge crosses, usually, the Snoqualmie river.

You can get an idea of how deep the water is with these signs.

You can see more photos in my gallery HERE.
