This has been a week beyond almost anyone’s experience. Saturday and Sunday produced thirteen plus inches of rain. By Sunday morning ground water was seeping into the lower level (slab) of my home. Rain flooded the garden and ran like a river from my neighbor (and his neighbor, etc.)’s yard through my yard creating a pond where the basil, arugula, Swiss chard, lettuce, cilantro and flowers were growing. In some areas I waded through three inches of rain. The carpets made splashy sounds as you walked on them.

My small woes were miniscule by comparison to what was happening to friends, neighbors and clients in nearby Bellevue. Water submerged some homes almost to the roof line. Within one subdivision almost every home was affected. People died as they tried to get away and their cars were submerged.
