They were moving all the airplanes to a high section of the airport yesterday by 3:30, cows and horses were all being moved as well...the river was only 19 inches below the previous flood stage, with 26 hours of cresting more to come....following the county projections it was clear it was going to crest the banks by 2:30 today (which it did) and it dawned on me....the bar I go to is 7 feet below flood stage.






Naturally, I did the right thing and called them to remind them to protect the Crown Royal.

24 hours later, news reported the river crested and overtopped the rivers edge at 7:27 p.m. yesterday, 80% of valley floor completely flooded by 10:00 p.m., houses flooded, cars damaged.....

I called and verified....Crown Royal is safe.

Thank God.

Thank goodness the Crown Royal is safe! (And you too.....)

My friends and family are from that area, and considering that I haven't heard from the one friend in Elma, I'd be willing to bet her place is under water.   She has a problem with flooding in her area. Accck, and my friend in Chehalis might be having problems too...
