Urban flooding

The fairies moved out of their garden home just in time. Flooded. Saturday was the wettest September day on record in Seattle. In November, an inch and a half of rain isn't too unusual, but in September it breaks records.  Totals were even more impressive further south, and nearly 3 inches fell in Olympia.  Out on the soggy peninsula near Potlatch in Mason County, they reported 7 inches of rain -- just an estimate, because that's all the gauge could hold before it overflowed.

Sunday afternoon in Seattle. Still raining.
