All the major rivers are in flood stages. Woke up to this email from the County Division of Emergency Management:
General Observation: Due to flooding throughout Whatcom County, a Proclamation of Emergency was approved today in order to expedite response by County agencies The National Weather Service is predicting this flooding event to impact Whatcom County for the next several days. Residents in Everson, Nooksack, and Sumas should now be preparing for high water in and around their area. Some roads have been closed due to flooding and dangerous driving conditions. Driving past a road-closed sign now carries a $500 fine. Residents are encouraged to stay home if possible or travel during off-peak times. Additional roads will close as flooding impacts continue downstream.
One of my employees at the store was delayed coming in as a landslide is covering a main road in the area - she had to drive around. Planning to head out for coffee, to the auction preview and then back to do some photography.
