It all looked good. The second was where a landing had been, so it looks a little bit rough, which is to be expected.

I think the bypass for Last Chance finally went away, it gets brought up and forgotten about every five years or so. There are worse spots now, well beyond CalTrans pave over bandaids. A few more good storms and we be back to one lane traffic signal crap.
Oh joy.

...HEAVY RAIN COULD CAUSE FLOODING BY LATE THIS WEEKEND...
HEAVY RAIN IS FORECAST OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. STRONG WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES
TO THE COAST AND OLYMPICS ON SATURDAY. HEAVY RAIN WILL SPREAD
INTO THE CASCADES SATURDAY AFTERNOON. MODELS CURRENTLY TAPER RAIN
OVER THE OLYMPICS ON SUNDAY BUT KEEP HEAVY RAIN GOING IN THE
CASCADES...ESPECIALLY OVER THE CASCADES FROM ABOUT KING COUNTY
SOUTH. THE TOTAL MODEL RAINFALL OVER ABOUT 48 HOURS FROM SATURDAY
MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AMOUNTS TO AROUND FOUR TO SIX INCHES
OVER THE OLYMPICS AND CENTRAL CASCADES WITH A TEN-INCH BULLSEYE
OVER MOUNT RAINIER.
THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE ENOUGH TO CAUSE FLOODING. AT THIS TIME
THE RIVERS MOST LIKELY TO FLOOD ARE THE ONES FLOWING OFF THE
CASCADES OF KING...PIERCE...AND LEWIS COUNTIES...AS WELL AS THE
UNUSUALLY FLOOD-PRONE SKOKOMISH RIVER IN MASON COUNTY. ANY FLOODING
WOULD LIKELY BEGIN SUNDAY WITH CRESTS SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY. THE

Looks like they bumped ours up a bit too. 7 - 11 inches of rain.
LATEST FORECASTS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON
BRING 7 TO 11 INCHES FOR THE COAST RANGE...
Hope there no wind after this. Hope we can get out of here also, last time it flooded an empty chip truck tried to cross and floated into a jack-knife. Took a cat & winch to pull it out. Destroyed the trailer on that little caper. Glad I wasn't more than a spectator.
Oh well, time to clean out ditches and the water bars in the driveway.

yup, gonna be wet
rain, cold and rainy...
Still chilly in Kentucky. Not as bad as the Northeast, but not exactly Southern California either. At least the roads aren't frozen here
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PORTLAND snip...
CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO INCREASE THAT A CLASSIC ATMOSPHERIC RIVER
TYPE PRECIPITATION EVENT WILL SET UP OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
OVER THE WEEKEND AND CONTINUE INTO EARLY MONDAY...
...A VERY LONG FETCH OF MOISTURE WITH ORIGINS WEST TO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA WILL FEED INTO
THIS SYSTEM...BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY LARGE RAINFALL
TOTALS ACROSS THE REGION.
IN ADDITION TO THE FLOODING CONCERNS...EXCESSIVE RAINFALL HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO CREATE LANDSLIDES...DEBRIS FLOWS...AND EXCESSIVE RUNOFF
IN THE VICINITY OF RECENT WILDFIRE BURN SCARS. BURN SCARS FROM TWO
LARGE FIRES THIS SUMMER...THE 36 PIT FIRE IN THE CLACKAMAS RIVER
BASIN NEAR ESTACADA AND THE DECEPTION COMPLEX NEAR OAKRIDGE...WILL
BE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE.
The confidence continues to increase? I suppose that means the time for buying Lotto tickets has passed. It's the first warning that has been e-mailed to me, sounds like it will mostly slide north of us, it's only a Small Streams warning for us. The list of cities goes as far east as Stevenson, though.

We have a flood watch here, and the hydrologic forecast looks kind of serious, but they tend to over estimate on that one. I emptied the rain gauge today.

The river is licking the edge of the main road, the crick is licking the edge of our road. Out with the neighbor earlier cleaning the ditches and reflowing some things.
Dumped the gauge about day light, just a hair after maybe. It shows since that time, 7.48". It ain't stopped and it ain't slowed down. Just a nice steady drowning rain. Now the wind is supposed to pick up, high wind warning I heard on the radio. More heavy rain over night and tomorrow, again by way of the radio.
We have drinks, pizza, wood stove chugging along, new pressure switch on the well. I would much rather be flooded in, than flooded out. Good fun and them kids make good company. I don't believe I can think of a place I would rather be.

rained hard over night, down to a drizzle now, hopefully the road into the landing isn't flooded out...
The wind woke me up a couple of times. No crashing sounds, but some banging. They lowered the level again. Two inches of rain since 2PM yesterday.

Just checked the thermometer, first time I've seen it below 40° F in quite a while. Looking to get cold later in the week, which will slide across the rest of the country as the week goes on.
Came home from work to no Fire and the heat pump running. Got that fixed, barn pets fed and stalled, gots my feet up now.

rain snow mix earlier today... supposed to snow tonight.
The white death is on the ground.
Cool, dry, windy here.
