Through 10 a.m., Seattle had already set its daily rainfall record with 1.48" of rain, breaking the old record of 1.23" set in 1962, and the rain was still coming down. [Now 12:30 PM and still pouring!]

Re: Soil
Doughty,
I grew up in south Florida, so that’s what I’m comparing Seattle to.
The soil in coastal south Florida is essentially sand, much of it crushed coral.
We can have 2 inches of rain in an hour down there, and one hour later, no trace of water anywhere.
Okay, then it’s relative. I understand where you’re coming from. Thanks for the mention.
I was thinking the same thing.
Here in south east Texas that’s not even considered a heavy dew.
Started commuting when I was 18 from Whidbey to Everett. Lasted 6 weeks. Jumped on a plane for Alaska and never looked back. Now live in a small Montana town. All my family is still commuting there and they hate every second.
Great news for those who like edible mushrooms. I hear its been terrible this year, but I think theres’s still part of the season that can be salvaged In the low lying areas along the coast, and a week of hard rain will help a whole bunch.
