When I open up my weather app, I see that I'm currently under 9 severe weather alerts. Yikes. But it is a bit misleading because 5 of them are river flood warnings that don't really impact me directly. There is also one about the increased threat of landslides, a wind advisory, a general flood watch and a small craft advisory. Not a nice time of year weather-wise. At least it isn't cold! Lots of heavy rainfall and serious flooding in Western Washington - the rainfall totals in the mountains are huge (we are talking about places getting 15 inches of rain over just a few days). We currently have a long atmospheric river pointing directly at us, which originates near the Philippines. Crazy.
