Hmmmm. They usually overestimate this so we shall see.

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

The Cowlitz prediction has been upped a few feet since I posted. I suspect the bridge leading out to the Cispus area will be cut off for a few hours. Just a heads up if anybody is planning on going there in the deluge.

Been doing yard work, removing the front lawn and replacing it with something more natural.
when I pull up the sod I find the driest, dustiest dirt ive ever seen. crazy that with how much rain we have had it is still that dry so near the surface. wish someone could apply this tech to some outdoor clothing so I could go hiking out on days like today.
p.s. rain barrels held the green house down in the first rounds of wind.

yikes!!!
looks like our house is in the black on that map GB. I bet we hit the high end estimates.
Still haven't gotten a rain gauge. going out in a minute. I'll place a few empty buckets and stuff around and see how much they fill.

There is an easy solution to your rain gear question. Just build yourself a suit out of sod.

Brilliant!! having silly visuals. 
I meant the dust though. stuff seems completely waterproof. maybe like a dust puffy instead of down.

I am curious as to how much rain will tumble down here. My "official" rain measurer froze and broke so I'm down to a slightly tapered margarine tub. Besides the slight taper, one must suspect that various critters have sipped some of the water, but it'll have to do. Remind me to check it tomorrow.
I emptied the hot tub about two weeks ago and left it uncovered for the new owner to come and pick it up. It now has a foot of water in it. I'm thinking that's my monthly total so far.

Between 2 and 3pm Mt. Hood recorded .57" of rain with 1.08" in two hours with the temperature up to 40F. Paradise has just increased to .37" of wet snow/rain in the past hour with the temperature at 34F. Mt. Hood telemetry gives a view of what is coming.
BTW Mission Ridge webcam looks like 5-6" of new snow thus far.

DOT is closing Chinook Pass for the night here in a few minutes.
We'll see how bad it floods the creeks over here. There was snow all the way down to the 2500' level this morning. I suspect Rattlesnake Creek will be pretty high.

Seeing on Facebook of distressed PCT hikers. With how hard it's raining at my house, there's no doubt a few of them are getting soaked tonight.

It sounded like a wild night. I slept with the window open so I could hear it. The cottage cheese tub is almost full. The power must've flashed off because there were blinking clocks this morning. Now we wait to see what the river and creeks are doing.
Just read on a county website that Skate Cr and Hwy 7 have washouts this morning.

24 hour rainfall totals run from 2.5" at Mt. Baker to 4-3/4" at Stevens to 5.6" at Paradise to 8.4" at Mt. Hood. The Olympics look to have had around 4" of rain.
