With record rainfall and flooding, I decided to head out in the rain and take a look at the local river conditions. Due to time restraints (and traffic congestion due to closed roads), I was only able to visit a few Puyallup River vantage points in the City of Puyallup. At the time of my visit, there were only a few visible structures that were actually threatened unless the river arose further.
The volume of the water and amount of debris flowing down the Puyallup River was quite an impressive site. Many people were out doing the same thing as I was, taking in the view and snapping pictures.
The condition of the lower Puyallup River is minor compared to the flooding elsewhere around Washington state. Best wishes to those who have homes and businesses affected or threatened by the current round of flooding.

Does anybody else have flooding stories or pictures to share?
