Hey morning to you all still working on my second cup of coffee. Woke at 9 I do all the inside hubby does the outside and feeds the birds.
Kinda raining .. Grand Mound is flooded right over I-5
nothing unusual did it for years.

Pretty much looks like my house...

Hope everyone's doing well, especially any folks near Chehalis where the entire area is flooding.

Me, this is my view this morning:



As of 2:30 the waters had risen even more. There's still a few tiny "dry" patches in the run but for the chickens' safety I locked them all in the coop (half of them had already retreated to the coop, but I didn't want the remainder to get stranded). Didn't bother snapping more photos as my priority was getting things with the flock squared away but it now looks like this (previous flood):



Improvement this time in that water has not reached the house foundation nor is it coming towards the house itself.

The girls were excited to go out and get some fresh grass and scratch around the yard. They, however, turned their beaks up at frozen berries.

The rain has stopped, but your lowlands do not help. Hopefully it drains before more rain comes.

48 hours with no rain/minimal rain should reduce water volume enough to allow the run to drain and surface dry. The lawn would need 3-4 days under same conditions.

I am sorry your in that spot, Heard that Centralia is at i-5

Read that I-5 was closed for hours. I used to go down there every so often for lunch, so it's striking to see the aerial photos of flooded fields and homes.

Obviously I'm stressed about what clean up I'm going to have to do in my situation (last time I had to replace several hundred dollars of gravel), but it's nothing like people getting flooded out of their houses.

I was wondering if you had moved yet. I hope it goes well for you!

Not yet, we are ready, just waiting
