The Descriptive Process

[slowp]

There was an earthquake??? pretty sure I didn't fall down so maybe it was a real one this time...

Yah. In Gig Harbor. I was just on the Tacoma side and in a dentist chair and nobody seemed to notice. A 3.6.

 

[northmanlogging]

3.6 is a little on the small side, I don't usually feel them until about 4.0, come to think of it the machine I was running did make some funny noises... for the Nisqualy quake I was stage diving... sorry...:rolleyes2:

50+ years of family owned firewood business and my brother fails to change, yet whines about it. He refuses to go to any kind of pallet operation for handling wood, yet complains up a storm how the business is wearing him out.

Wear crocs!

Wear crocs!

Yes. No laces. You only have to make a decision if you want to use the heel strap or not. It can be positioned by using toes. They make solid toed Crocs for those wet days and holy ones for dry weather. They come in an assortment of colors.

 

[northmanlogging]

I'm thinking that's why the rubber corks are still selling, no need to tie em.

Flood Watch in September?

Flood Watch in effect from Thursday afternoon through Friday
afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a

* Flood Watch for much of western Washington... including the
following counties... Grays Harbor... Clallam... island...
Jefferson... San Juan... Skagit... Whatcom... King... Kitsap...
Lewis... Mason... Pierce... Snohomish... and Thurston.

* From Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon

* significant rainfall is anticipated Thursday afternoon through
Friday... with the heaviest rainfall expected from the olympic
range eastward. Potentially 1 to 2 inches of rain... with local
amounts up to 4 inches in the Cascades... could fall during this
period. In addition... thunderstorms on Thursday could produce
rain rates of an inch in one hour or less.

* The potentially excessive rainfall could lead to Urban and Small
Stream flooding. A short period of intense rainfall on Thursday
could cause flash flooding and overwhelm storm drains... leading
to flooded roads. Mud or rock slides are also possible in steep
mountainous terrain. Expect significant rises on area rivers but
flooding is unlikely.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means conditions are favorable for flooding but
flooding is not imminent or occurring. Monitor the latest
forecasts from the National Weather Service and be ready to act
quickly if flooding is observed or a warning is issued.
