Well, the local media made it sound like a national catastrophe that was certain to wipe WA out of existance. Not being there personally to base the current weather on personal experience, I thought I'd offer prayers and a place to stay if anyone needs it.
You gotta understand, I'm an AZ dog. We haven't had a drop of rain in 80-something days, so 24 straight day of rain would be like a flood emergency here, LOL. The media coverage included the drama pictures of houses flooded like Katrina executed a left face and went right to WA, so I just wanted to voice support.
It might seem trivial to y'all who are used to this type of weather, but I bought into the drama and was concerned about our WA members here. Apparently that was unfounded, but I didn't realize it at the time and my intent was only meant to be helpful.
Stay safe, folks, and use LOTS of oil in all that moisture!
