When it rains...it pours in Tillamook! Yesterday we had the first (definitely not the last) flood of the season! It rained more than 5 inches yesterday, and with the high tide levels and over-flowing rivers we woke up this morning to flooded streets. This is the main drag--101 North!! No getting through this street! Highways and other roads have been closed due to mud slides and washed out bridges. For the past couple months we've had Emergency Preparedness Night for Family Home Evening. We never know when we are going to get hit with a natural disaster: flooding, tsunami, hurricanes...!! So we've been working on getting our 72 hour kits ready, and other emergency procedures in order. Now we need to work on our food storage, food storage food storage!!! But hopefully we will be prepared and not have to worry when a disaster hits! It was a little scary driving to mutual last night with the rain coming down in buckets! But we were all safe and grateful this storm has passed! I'm sure we will be seeing another storm soon!

What a beautiful day. The sky is blue, the water shimmers and looks so fresh and clean. Photos can be deceiving.
I am glad your family is safe, and that all youth were protected last night. 5 Inches is a lot of rain.
You are right about food storage, but I am glad you have your 72 hour kits. The news on the economy looks frightful tonight.
We'll count our blessings that you have been protected. I assume that you can get to Safeways.
Love, M
Wow! I can't believe that picture is real!!
Yes, hopefully you guys are high high above the flood planes, and that you'll be prepared! Stay safe!!
