The Flood of '08

I'm just back from checking out the highwater on the Spokane River. Quite entertaining.
It's over some streets in places and people are sandbagging driveways and whatnot.
Some are sandbagging poorly...you can see daylight through the bags. Unless we have very polite floodwater, I'm thinking it will go through the holes.

Many of the rivers around here are high and now it's raining. I don't think it will get much worse, but I've been wrong before. People are saying it's as bad as the floods of 1996...or was it 1997? Or maybe it was worse then, or now. People don't remember well.

Sorry this is brief, but I'm tired.
