There has been quite a bit flooding (http://tinyurl.com/bllvv and

Grays Harbor, Jefferson, King, Lewis, Mason, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish,
Thurston and Whatcom counties were set to expire at the end of the day.
No new mudslides have been reported, but officials have said ground
saturation levels continue to make more slides possible."

Not only slides, but lots of trees have been coming down because of
gusty winds and the fact that the ground is too saturated to hold the roots.

Here's to hoping that you get a break in the rain. If you hit 40 days
straight, I'm going to church!

Though most of us are getting /really/ tired of it, at this point it
would seem like a bit of a waste if we didn't at least break the record...

It's not our "usual" rain, either: Seattle is used to mostly light
drizzles, not this heavy rain stuff.

You probably wouldn't be the only one!
