[nfbwatlk] is everyone safe?

[Mike Freeman]

Just damp as hell down here in Vancouver although I-5 both ways is 
closed from just past Chehalis to just below Olympia and there's a 
wash-out preventing north- and south-bound AMTRAK trains from doing 
there thing just a bit north of here. Otherwise, no damage that I can 
figure; its worse up north and on the Oregon and Washington coasts.

  Did we all make it through the storm?
  I talked with folks in Aberdeen and learned that the entire area is 
out of power.  They are in their 80's, but said they'd dressed warmly 
and were doing just fine on tuna fish and white bread.  Yuk!
  Out here on the Great Olympic Peninsula, we had about 9 inches of 
snow.  But just about the end of the Sea Hawks game the snow became 
rain.  And such rain it was.  It is still raining.  I walked down the 
road to Rippley Creek and was amazed at the roar coming from that gentle 
stream.  But we only had a few branches over the road and no trees down 
close to our house.  I'll have to wait until it calms down a bit before 
I hike up to the water tank to check out that trail.
  Poor little Raccoons.  They huddle on the deck, pressed up against the 
wall of the house.  I wonder if I opened the door a crack if they'd 
sneak in to dry their tiny toes?
  Stay dry, warm and safe.
