People are dying right now from Storm Byron.

Well. The Mount Vernon floodwall held. Or has, so far, but the record-setting crest has passed so the prospects are looking pretty good.

Now to reinforce it because worse will be coming.

Also: People were wondering how much of the 100,000 people under evacuation order were in Skagit County, since that number covered the entire affected area, not just Skagit.

I finally got an answer:

78,000

That's the Skagit County floodplain number by itself. The other 22,000 were in other parts of the flooding area, particularly Snohomish County, but also some areas in King County up around North Bend and also areas around Green River.

Warnings: Climate is breaking, weather is breaking. Life giving rain, is turning into life taking "rain rivers" soil washed away, farms washed away, livestock killed.

They aren't saying how many farms and livestock have been lost, "because chicken farmers are in trauma"

It is MADNESS to ignore these devastating warnings and expand oil, MADNESS to build pipelines.

MADNESS.

If you were planning to visit Leavenworth WA anytime soon, don’t. Major power outage and lots of storm damage.

Good news. For today and tomorrow western Washington State is mostly getting a break from the heavy rain. Rivers have crested at some locations and water levels are starting to drop.

The state emergency management staff puts out a status report near the end of each day. The screenshot has a list of U.S. and state roads that are closed. Of course many county and local roads are also out of service. Yesterday’s report is at

I had to post the video of the bird swimming on the flooded trail. After some ID effort we concluded it was not a goose but a juvenile trumpeter swan! I had never seen one down here, they are usually at the Skagit plains.

This drone footage is of the SNOHOMISH River, not the SKAGIT, which has also already officially set a flood record:

Flooding has reportedly crossed Highway 20 in Sterling, west of Burlington. If you are still there, somehow, GET OUT NOW. Recommendation is to evacuate via Collins or Gardner, then west to I-5.

People may want to notice how close this is to Burlington, which has very little elevation advantage over Sterling, if any.

There was a bit of a pilgrimage, many people of all ages paying respect to the river, the awe-inspiring reminder that we are, in reality, very small.

This is by the parking lot of the trail. There is a small wall by the partially submerged bushes, and a picnic table somewhere under there. It's eerie how disorienting the landscape had become.

A large area covered with water, all the way to a gravel road. Many trees and bushes, planted in the banks of the river, are partially covered with water. The water is very calm, reflecting the tree branches.

I went back to the Snohomish River today, at Lowell Riverfront Trail in Everett. The spot from where I took the picture yesterday -by the picnic benches- had already flooded (current level 33'). The trail was flooded in spots, some areas a couple of feet underwater. Waterfowl were enjoying themselves.

The railways didn't flood. I believe most of the water flooded Ebey Island instead, which looked like a second river on the other side of the bank.

Dusk picture of a flooded trail bordering a river. The river banks, lined by trees, have been breached. The water extends directly from the river into the trail. A pair of picnic tables are partially submerged on the water.

A different section of the trail is also flooded. Here the trail is bordered by tall bushes that stick above water. In the middle of the flooded trail, a goose happily swims in the calm water.

The footage of the Skykomish river at 5:10 is insane. That's guaranteed death water.

Some good drone footage here of Hamilton, WA in Skagit County. They're right next to the Skagit river, and just from looking back and forth from Google Maps (thanks to that big ugly building near the bright blue house), as of this morning they're under 3-5ft of water. Bad times. Most of those people will probably have to live somewhere else through this winter, because I doubt anything is getting remediated there soon. Hopefully everyone evacuated.
