As those here in the NW know, today, heavy flooding is rampant. All of the routes east from Washington are closed. No way to cross the mountains. And the interstate (I-5) south is closed indefinitely due to flooding. Unfortunately for me, my little road into the Bald Hills of Yelm is also flooded, so I am unable to get anywhere in the county to get pictures. How sad. The Nisqually River in McKenna is currently 4 feet over flood stage and rising. People sand bagging, a community coming together, and I am stuck in the hills. :(

Here's my neighborhood:

2. This guy just finished this fence about a month ago. Apparently doesn't hold back the water, eh?

3. Another with a wee bit of treatment to try and kill the glare of car lights.
