Five Minutes Later...

As I said in my last blog entry; "If you don't like the weather in Seattle, just wait five minutes." Well... It's been five minutes! Yesterday on my way home from campus I found that my freeway on ramp had been closed due to flooding. Fortunately my house is on the top of a fairly large hill and the ground water seems to be controlable. However, everything I need to get to is at the bottom of the hill. This morning when I left to teach clinicals I had to go "upstream" to get the on freeway. For those of you reading this blog from other states, parts of Washington got 15 inches of rain in 24 hours and a 20 mile stretch of I5 is closed due to extensive flooding. This means that if you want to go to Oregon, you have to drive over the pass and into Eastern Washington to get there.
This is an intersection just a couple of blocks from my house!
