Got about 1.8 inches over the last two days. The local river is rising with all the snow melting.
Compared to yesterday - quite the flow.
Just got this link in my email from the Washington State Department of Transportation:
SR 20 to remain closed east of Concrete due to unstable slope
To keep drivers safe, the Washington State Department of Transportation will keep State Route 20 closed between Concrete and Rockport until further notice. Heavy rainfall on Thursday, Jan. 21, caused an already unstable slope at milepost 92 to become increasingly unstable.
And the money quote:
Our geotechnical engineers inspected the area during Thursday’s heavy rainfall and discovered an active, slow-moving landslide that’s 350 feet wide and 200 feet high. We are now working on an emergency contract to stabilize the slope.
