Today's officially the second rainiest day on record in Seattle, northbound I-5 is flooding, a good portion of the coast is shut down and Highway 26 is littered with fallen trees. The Klootchy Creek Giant is dead, rivers are flooding everywhere and high water is trapping cars on swamped roads here in Portland. My front yard now has a shallow lake, the ancient drainage system in my basement has created another relatively harmless creek and my copy of the latest issue of Rolling Stone is soaking wet because a postal carrier failed to close the door of my mailbox this afternoon. And it's still %$%@!#! raining outside.

On behalf of the entire Pacific Northwest, I'd just like to say that you suck poopy dog butts, Winter Wind Storm '07.
