Just finished hearing how bad the weather is up in the NW. I know we have quite a few members up there and I'm hoping they're ok.
I-5 has certain area's that are under 10' of water, helicopters have been rescuing people from roof tops etc. it's a big mess.

Certainly hope everyone is ok up there.  We got half a foot of snow from one of those storms.  I know that doesn't compare in any way to what happened in the Washington/Oregon area but gives an idea of how strong and far reaching those storms have been.

Saw the news on TV last night. Looked real bad for many families. Almost like when the Mississippi overflowed its dikes.

Let us know if we can help anyone from C3VR.

 Scary stuff when ya can't see it coming. We live 1 mi. down stream of a man made lake dam, so, we found a house up the side of a hill where we won't get our feet wet Wink,........ just in case. The sharks don't swim well  Confused.

The trucks that supply our production lines are having to divert up the Columbia Gorge to get here. Adds a lot of extra time to their trip. I'm in the desert section of Washington State and we did get a lot of rain and wind. No damage though.

Alls fine here in Olympia except for all the
 
The flooding happened about 30 minutes south of where I am.  Hint = If your gonna buy property, buy on high ground.
 
The area worst hit was Centralia, WA where we held on C3VR NW Region Holiday Dinner.  The entire historical little downtown is now underwater.  I-5 is still underwater and for anyone who needs to get to Portland from the Tacoma/Seattle area its a 400 mile detour around the mountains.  They are estimating that it's a 4 million dollar loss to the ecomony for every 24 hours that I-5 is closed.
 
But thanks for everyones concern, all roads are back open in my area and the Pacer is tucked away safe and dry in the garage on the high ground Thumbs%20Up
