Snow/Rain/Floods

Massive flooding in the area, after massive snow has created quite a miserable mess in the Pacific Northwest. Not so much in Seattle city, but all the surrounding communities. The passes have been closed for avalanche danger, freeways closed with standing water. It's going to take quite some time to get the region back to normal. A lot of these areas are just recovering from last years flooding. I remember our home being flooded as a child from a massive snow pack melt in 1983. It takes months/years to put it all back together. I feel sorry for all the people affected in the area.
