Deluge 2007, or, I need the Seaview to get to zappy!

Guh, I'm tellin' ya, hardcore rain, flood, and wind warnings are just the thing I wanted to see in the greater Seattle metro area on the day when I need to set out for my very first day of radiation treatment. I've been working from home all day so far, so I have at least missed the joy of this morning's commute. Not so fortunate was spazzkat, who relayed to solarbird and me that it took him about an hour and 15 minutes to get from Kenmore to downtown Seattle. Lake Forest Park Town Center was a mess, with the little creek in front of the shopping center overflowing its banks.

I've been following the coverage the Times has been posting all day, and note with some trepidation that the underpass under 405 that's right on my usual route over to Evergreen has been closed due to flooding. Which means I'll need to take a slightly longer route to get there. Hopefully there won't be any wacky fun surprises on Bothell Way up to 405, or on 405 back down into Kirkland.

Also, I think I'll be leaving super-early just to take it nice and slow and easy to get there. I'll either show up ridiculously early, in which case I'll hang around and read something, or else I'll get there close to the proper time after a very cautious drive. Wish me luck, folks.

Ugh, good luck. I hear the governor just declared a state of emergency.

Read it on your employer's website, matter of fact. Imagine that!

Good luck!

Good luck, dear. Let folks know you made it home okay, 'kay?

And I'm off to get my third dose of chemo, yummy stuff looks like fluorescent brake fluid, and everyone treats it cautiously like it's serious ju-ju (which I suppose it probably is....).

Will be interesting to see if the harbour road has flooded out yet or now. Rate things are going here, we will have a couple of days of slush yet to go.

Good luck, luv. With all of it.

Thank you! Got there and back again safely. :)

Eek! Keep dry (and floating)! :-)

[annathepiper]

Thanks much! *hugs back*

[annathepiper]

Yeah, so I saw! Though King County seems to be getting off light compared with more coastal communities. -.-

Made it to and from treatment safely, anyway. The Murk is snug and dry.

[annathepiper]

I hear tell we keep tabs on stuff like that!

[annathepiper]

Ugh. Hope you make it home safe and not in too many hours!

[annathepiper]

Thanks and likewise to you! Made it safe to and from, and we're snug and dry here at the Murk.

[annathepiper]

Thanks much, and safe driving to you too!

And yeah, I'd handle that stuff with care if it were me, too. ;)

Yahh, home safe now, in bed, with brand new flannel nightie that Barbara sent out to me. Still raining, coming in sideways, it is one hell of a storm.

[annathepiper]

Oof! Suck. Well, at least you made it. :)
