1. Really crappy weather in the south tonight

We had tornado warnings all around us this afternoon. Glad it was today that was nasty instead of tomorrow. We had downpours off and on all day here in south Mississippi.

2. Looking good? Speak for yourself,

There's a risk of flood in some places in the Pacific Northwest.
Just running from the front door to the car will get you soaked.

5. We live in the Snoqualmie Valley

namely, Duvall. We've heard of the Great Flood of 1990 that basically landlocked Duvall for almost a week. We thought we'd never be facing anything like it. Luckily, we can bring the absentee ballots to the local polling place.

I'm now wondering if we're going to wake up tomorrow morning to the Great Flood of 2006.

11. WA 18 co disaster per Gov. Crap, does this mean we get FEMA?

As rivers across Western Washington neared or exceeded record flows today, evacuations were ordered in a handful of cities and neighborhoods, and emergency officials braced for what could be the region's most severe flooding in a decade.

One man was killed in the flooding, and two other deaths were attributed to rain-slicked roads. Rising floodwaters in the Skagit County cities of Concrete and Hamilton prompted police and firefighters to go door to door evacuating residents. In nearby Sedro-Woolley, patients at United General Hospital were loaded into ambulances and taken to higher ground as a precaution.

"They're saying this could be the hundred-year flood," said Pastor Ron Edwards, of Hamilton, as people ran in and out of First Baptist Church, where an emergency shelter was quickly filling up. "This is not a rich town and people don't have a lot of resources. It took some of them a full year to recover from the last flood , so they're anxious."

Gov. Christine Gregoire declared a state of emergency for 18 counties, and state transportation officials reported that today's deluge closed sections of nearly 20 Western Washington highways....(more)

It makes a real case for voting by mail.

That and the paper ballots. And the no need to take time off work, and the time to think about one's vote, and the overall convenience....
