Pineapple Express is still raging in WA. All that nice warm air from HI

the water wrings out and we're experiencing extreme flooding along the
rivers. Some are calling this the "hundred year flood", but we seem to
hear that every 4-5 years. :-)

That's because 100 year floods occur in 4 to 5 year cycles.

Sheesh - how hard is that to understand? :)

You're a video fan. Here's a link to the USCG press video site. This is
a source that broadcast media, etc, can turn to for short shots of the
USCG in action.
Check out the "Bogachiel River Rescue" footage. And don't ever let
anybody tell you it rains a lot in the Pacific NW.
