I'm trapped....

Anyone been paying attention to all the rain in the Pacific Northwest?

At this moment, the only options I have to get out of my state is to fly or take a boat. There is water everywhere!

That sucks.
However, cars ARE bouyant! So, just put some paddles in there, and maybe even rig up a rudder and go to town .

Shoot dude stay warm and dry! Be careful

We're trying. My mother-in-law is literally trapped inside her house. There was a small creek running next to her yard. It has now turned into a lake all around her house. There is 4' of water all around her. She can walk out, but her car is stuck, and maybe ruined if the water goes any higher. She lives down a long, long gravel road in a rural area.

Two of my co-workers had to sleep in their cars last night after all roads to their homes were closed and they got stranded in high water. Hopefully they will be rescued via chopper today. Their cell phones are about to die, so they are totally stressing out.

Reminder folks....keep an emergency survival kit in your car/truck/SUV/whatever.

There are cell phone battery-chargers that work with AA batteries.You can look them online.

I know we have some in Turkish sites.I can buy one and send you but it'll need to be dropped from a plane unless your post office has boats or fish-postman.

Too much water can be sucky yea,be careful man.

Sorry to hear about this Mike......

The water's not high enough to effect your TV is it?

Nope, I'm safe. No flooding in my immediate area. The crawl space under my house is full of water though.

Oh dang....it just started pouring rain again. It let up for a few hours. So bad, that I can not see out the window. This is only going to get worse.

Depends on what weather guy you believe. Most are saying Sunday. A little break sometime on Friday, but not much.

Some of the rivers haven't even crested yet.

I'm just a couple miles south of Sylvana (west of Arlington.)

My home is up on a plateau so its high and dry. Getting to/from there is the questionable part. Last night when I drove home from work my normal route had a section of road (about 500 yards) under two feet of water... I turned around and backtracked to the one other route in. When I drove into work this morning THAT route had water nipping at the side of the road in a few spots... not sure if I'll be getting home tonight!!

Good luck to you and your family Mike!

You to my friend. I'm on a hill too, so nothing will really flood my hood.

Take care buddy and stay safe.

The sarcasm in this post bites so much more than my simple "no."
