The storm

Things have quieted down substantially here. Had close to two inches of rain last night and over three for the last five days. No damage here but a different story to the south. From The Bellingham Herald:

Mudslides close Highway 20 through mountain passes
Mud and rock slides have closed a section of the North Cascades Highway through the mountain passes, with no reopening date yet announced.

Heavy rain Thursday night, Sept. 5, into Friday triggered several slides, closing a 24-mile stretch of Highway 20 between milepost 147 (10 miles west of Rainy Pass) and milepost 171 (9 miles east of Washington Pass).

Washington State Department of Transportation crews are waiting until the rain subsides to begin cleanup efforts, because more slides are possible.

That would be a closed road -- fortunately the forecast is for warmer and sunny weather... Posted by DaveH at September 6, 2013 2:39 PM
