Rain slows, but flooding continues across W. Washington
The flooding - some of the worst on record in Washington state - was touched off by a combination of heavy rain of 6 inches or more and a warm spell in the mid-40s that rapidly melted the snow in the Cascade Mountains.
More than 30,000 people were urged to leave their flood-endangered homes, and emergency crews are still scrambling to assist those trapped in flooded neighborhoods. Some rivers had crested at record levels and others were still rising.
A 20-mile stretch of Interstate 5, the state's major north-south freeway, was shut down between Olympia and the Oregon line, with one section area under 3 feet of water. Avalanches closed I-90, which cuts east from Seattle through the Cascades, along with the two other routes through the mountains. Amtrak service and most freight trains were stopped as well.
But after 24 hours cut off from the rest of the nation by flooded and damaged roads and railways, northwestern Washington state finally was connected by a single lifeline - two-lane Highway 2 across Stevens Pass - on Thursday afternoon.
Officials could not say exactly when other major arterials might reopen.
I-5 at Chehalis, where floodwaters several feet deep covered a 20-mile stretch of the main north-south arterial in Western Washington, could be closed for up to four days, said State Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond.
She said the flooding is similar to the December 2007 flood that caused a four-day blockage on the freeway. Crews on the scene said the water over I-5 is still rising at nearly one foot per hour. Water was also partially covering the southbound lanes of I-5 in Fife, just north of Tacoma, blocking two right lanes.
Interstate 90 remained closed across Snoqualmie Pass by the risk of avalanches and mudslides, and the state Department of Transportation said it would not reopen on Thursday, as originally planned.
Nearly 40,000 drivers - including 7,000 trucks - cross Washington's Cascade Mountains each day, and most travel on I-90, the main east-west route across the state.
Hundreds of truckers pulled their rigs off onto the shoulders or packed truck stops as the bad weather bottled up nearly all freight in and around Seattle, costing the economy untold millions of dollars of day.
"You can't go north, you can't go east, you can't go south. What are my options?" said Jon Amerman, a trucker from White Hall, Mont., who had planned to head east to Yakima to pick up apples after delivering a load of goods to Seattle. He figured his company was losing more than $1,000 a day every day that he was idle.
All other mountain passes remain closed as well, with the single exception of Highway 2, leaving that as the only option for leaving northwestern Washington except by aircraft or by heading north through Canada.
Amtrak passenger train service out of Seattle was suspended due to mudslides, the company said in a news release.
Many school districts were again forced to close or delay classes due to flooded roads (see full schools list).
Though the pounding rain that melted mountain snow and caused the flooding eased Thursday, flood warnings remained in effect for 14 counties in Western Washington and seven on the state's east side. The National Weather Service further warned that rain-soaked hillsides were at a high risk for landslides.
"It's right up there with some of our most memorable flood events," National Weather Service forecaster Doug McDonnal said Thursday. "The thing that's kind of amazing in the past few years is how many flood episodes we've had."
Hammond said when the Chehalis River crests Thursday night, officials expect water to be 10 feet deep over Interstate 5. After the water starts falling, crews plan to use pumps and breach a levy to help the water drain out.
I-5 through Lewis County typically is used by nearly 55,000 drivers each day, with 10,000 of those being trucks.
The state has 1,200 DOT crew members out working to clear area roads.
Highway officials abandoned plans to get one main east-west route over the mountains open sometime Thursday, due to the danger from mudslides and avalanches.
Crews struggled to reopen highways, especially those leading to communities cut off by the flooding and avalanches.
Orting residents were allowed to return to their homes on Thursday to survey the damage.
"What a difference 24 hours makes," said Orting Police Chief Bill Drake.
Jamie Hicks used five pumps to try to clear the 2½ feet of water from his house, about 50 yards from the swollen Puyallup River.
"We're veterans at this," Hicks said as his son rowed a boat in front of the house. "You just pump it out."
In Snohomish, about 30 miles north of Seattle, a crowd watched as Robert Bishop and his roommates were rescued by boat from their two-story duplex. The home close to the Pilchuk River was nearly half underwater.
"I thought it was fine, but it went higher than I thought," said Bishop, 48, who waited out previous floods. "It was very scary."
In Stanwood, gravel was brought in by the truckload and volunteers, young and old, filled and stacked sandbags in a race against time after a dike near the city's waste management broke.
The Army Corp of Engineers is working to repair the breach, and residents are hoping their levee will hold.
"The whole valley could be flooded if the levees break. I've seen that happen before," said Bill Elliott.
Evacuation was recommended for some 50 Ebey Island residents on Thursday night due to a breach in the Ebey Island Slough Dike. The breach, which was 20 feet by 5 feet, was located on the east side of the Snohomish River, about a half mile south of Highway 2.
State emergency officials said voluntary evacuations were recommended for Snoqualmie, and for the southwest Washington cities of Naselle, Packwood and Randle.
No serious injuries were reported.
"I think we're seeing an all-timer, or as bad as anyone has seen," said Rob Harper, a spokesman for the state Division of Emergency Management. "We just haven't seen this extent of flooding."
Fire trucks rolled through Orting on Wednesday, about 10 miles southeast of Tacoma, with loudspeakers advising everyone to leave the town and surrounding valley, home to about 26,000 people. Sandbags were placed around many downtown homes and businesses as the Puyallup River neared record levels.
Tacoma Mayor Bill Baarsma declared a civil emergency for his city of about 200,000, largely because of Puyallup River flooding risks to the city's wastewater treatment plant.
Concern in Pierce County was shifting Thursday to the stability of levies and debris-damaged bridges as flooding receded along the Puyallup and other rivers, said Barb Nelson, an emergency management spokeswoman.
"I feel so sorry for those people," she said, adding, "We're having these 100-year floods every year now."
State emergency officials said voluntary evacuations were recommended for Snoqualmie, a riverside town 25 miles east of Seattle, and for the southwest Washington cities of Naselle, Packwood and Randle.
The Snoqualmie River at Carnation, in the rural Snoqualmie Valley, was measured at 61.55 feet at 4 a.m. Thursday, more than 7 feet above flood stage and a record for measurements kept since 1932.
Members of the National Guard were called out to Carnation on Thursday to help crews respond to emergencies as many of the homes remained isolated by floodwaters.
Several communities in east King County flooded, forcing people onto boats as streets in Snoqualmie and Duvall were submerged. High water early Thursday closed Highway 203 in East King County, cutting the last remaining route to the cities of Carnation and Duvall. Much of Snoqualmie was isolated by flooded roads.
In Snoqualmie, kayakers paddled in the street as city officials urged residents in the flood plain of the Snoqualmie River to leave before they became trapped.
Rachel Myers stood across a flooded parking lot from her home and waited for her father to pick her up in a boat. She said her family has lived in the house since her great-grandmother built it, but they've decided this will be their last winter there.
"With flood after flood, it just gets more ruined every time," Myers said.
On the mountain passes, crews are coping with huge amounts of snow and rain, and an avalanche of snow and mud about 100 yards wide damaged some weekend recreation homes in the Hyak area east of Snoqualmie Pass.
Chris Caviezel, who has lived at Snoqualmie Pass for about seven years, said conditions were the worst he has seen.
"We're getting avalanches and we're being flooded," he said.
In flooded towns, police and firefighters used boats and hovercraft to reach stranded residents, and a Coast Guard helicopter rescued two stranded people in Morton, in southwest Washington's Lewis County.
In Concrete, 70 miles northeast of Seattle, a 66-year-old woman was rescued after being trapped briefly in a house that was hit by a mudslide and collapsed.
"It felt like an earthquake," Diane Bergsma said. "I thought I was dead."
In Grays Harbor County, sheriff's deputies rescued several people from flooding homes. Officials issued a voluntary evacuation notice for people living near rivers, including the swollen Chehalis.
"We don't want to create panic, but we don't want people that live near the river to procrastinate and have to be rescued," Lynn O'Connor, public information officer for the county's Department of Emergency Management, told the Aberdeen Daily World.
In central Washington, Kittitas County was cut off from access to the west by flooding and slides in the Cascades. Emergency services officials said no serious injuries had been reported, but mudslides and avalanches damaged a number of homes and condominiums.
Flood evacuations included about 256 people in west Ellensburg and lesser numbers in low-lying areas about 10 miles west of Cle Elum and three miles east of Cle Elum, where some drivers were reported stranded in their vehicles.
What's next?
The soaking rains have come to an end as the storm has pushed off to the east. A weak trough of low pressure will move through Thursday morning, bringing some scattered light showers through the early afternoon, with the exception of a Convergence Zone roaming between northern King and southern Skagit County, keeping some light rain going there.
We'll then dry out as we get into the afternoon, and stay dry until Saturday evening.
Up in the mountains, more moisture will fall, but snow levels will be dropping to around 3,000 feet by late morning, meaning it'll mostly fall as snow -- even at pass level.
That will keep more water from running into the rivers, but make driving a challenge, especially since it'll now be the primary route between Seattle and Portland with I-5 closed.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 6 p.m. Thursday for as much as 6-11 inches of new snow, especially between Stevens and Snoqualmie Pass.
That means if crews do manage to reopen the passes today, expect winter driving conditions. Avalanche danger remains extreme, and frequent pass closures for avalanche control are likely.
Record river flooding
Flood waters are expected to near or reach record stages along the Stillaguamish near Arlington, the Snoqualmie River near Carnation, the Skookumchuck near Centralia, the Newaukum near Chehalis, and the Chehalis River near Centralia. In fact, the Chehalis River is expected to reach a similar height to the floods of December, 2007.
Major flooding is occurring on several other rivers, including the Skokomish, Snohomish, Tolt, Cedar, Nisqually, Cowlitz, as well as Issaquah Creek.

What's being said
The ole "downhill spiral" argument - the battle cry of the extreme right. On the one hand they whine about the socialist liberals trampling on their rights...while the other hand writes voter suppression laws to keep those who don't share their particular political views from participating in the democratic process. Hypocrites all!
Omg someone might actually have to show proof that they are legally registered to vote in order to vote! Whatever is this country coming to, we certainly can't have that! We are on a downhill spiral....it won't be much longer at the rate this country is going

Nettuno is a town and comune of the province of Rome in the Lazio region of central Italy, 60 kilometres (37 miles) south of Rome. A resort city and agricultural center on the Tyrrhenian Sea, in the Mediterranean Sea it has a population of approximately 46,000.
It is perhaps named in honour of the Roman god Neptune.
It has a touristic harbour hosting about 860 boats and a shopping center,selling everything for fishing and sailing. There is also an extensive yacht club.
Nettuno is the city of the D.O.C. wine Cacchione.
Nettuno has one of the biggest bases for the Italian Force, whose territory extends to the Province of Latina, and one of the most important Italian Police Schools, where especially police dogs are trained.
Nettuno is one stop south of Anzio on the local train from Rome.
The town was founded by the Latins as Antium: there are the remains of the ancient settlement.[1] It is a popular tourist destination today, where there are a well-preserved old quarter, the Borgo Medievale, with mediaeval streets and small squares, and the Forte Sangallo, a castle built in 1503 by renaissance architect Antonio Da Sangallo Il Vecchio (Antonio da Sangallo the Elder).
It is an important center of pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint Maria Goretti. In the shrine there is a crypt where lie the mortal remains of the saint. The church keeps also a priceless polychromed wooden statue of Our Lady of Grace, which is honoured by the town with a procession every year the first Saturday of May. It was originally Our Lady of Ipswich, although it left England after the Reformation.
The privately owned Villa Costaguti-Borghese at Nettuno, built 1648, has extensive gardens in a landscape park designed about 1840, now protected as a nature reserve. The Borghese Gladiator was discovered at Nettuno.
Nettuno Baseball Club is one of the most important Italian baseball teams, often winner of the national championship. Baseball was taught to the local people during the Second World War by American soldiers, who landed along the coasts.
Indeed, Nettuno and nearby Anzio were the theatre of an Allied forces landing and the ensuing Anzio-Nettuno battle during World War II: the Operation Shingle.[2] American forces (5th Army) were surrounded by Germans in the caves of Pozzoli in February 1944 for a week, suffering heavy casualties. A movie based on the events called Anzio (1968, directed by Edward Dmytryk) was made, starring Robert Mitchum and based on a book by Wynford Vaughan-Thomas.
At the north edge of town is the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial, where over 7,800 U.S. soldiers are buried.[3]
A key feature of Nettuno is the "fort" - a medieval wall which goes around an entire neighborhood of stone-paved streets.
In the late 1980s, Nettuno figured prominently as a transit point for Jewish immigrants on their way to Israel or the United States. Since the Soviet Union and Israel did not have diplomatic relations, Italy agreed to serve as a staging ground for Jewish refugees to Israel from the Soviet Union. Upon entering Italy, refugees would file a petition with the Israeli consulate and await approval. Many Jews took advantage of this opportunity to petition the U.S. consulate for asylum to let them enter the United States on religious persecution grounds. Though the majority of Russian Jews settled in Rome and Ladispoli (a small city near Rome), a significant number of them, particularly those from the Ukrainian city of Odessa, chose Nettuno as their temporary home, perhaps due to its magnificent beaches and lively night scene. Other, much more insignificant Italian cities such as Santa Marinella also served as temporary homes, though they offered little beyond "Wheels of Immigration" - a pretzel-like snack as comfort to their visitors.

Freddie Gallot, left, Alabama State University finance executive, and John Knight, executive vice president, talk during a news conference in November.
- Filed Under
The Alabama Bureau of Investigation is investigating several instances of student aid fraud at Alabama State University, two university officials told the Montgomery Advertiser on Wednesday.
The university uncovered the fraud last January and ASU's campus police department reported it to the ABI. Around $50,000 has gone missing since then, ASU vice president of business and finance Freddie Gallot said.
Gallot described the fraud as "sort of like being hacked," and said the university has taken steps to address the problem. ...

Sprint unveiled plans today to carry its first cellphone on Google's Android platform, the HTC Hero.
The $180 handset (with a rebate and two-year contract) will go on sale Oct. 11 at Sprint and Best Buy locations.
Like the existing Android phones on the market, the Hero will have access to Android apps like ShopSavvy, Pandora and Flixster.
Sprint, like Verizon Wireless, is holding a conference to stoke interest among potential app developers.
The Hero's features include a user interface called Sense, a wide, customizable home screen, and the ability to silence the phone by flipping it over. It also has a 5-megapixel camera, camcorder and Wi-Fi.
More Android-powered cellphones are expected soon, and Sprint's Palm Pre is still attracting customers. What do you think of this one?

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
UC/CSU General Education Pattern
Completion and certification of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) permits students to transfer from San Joaquin Delta College to a campus of either the California State University or the University of California without the need after transfer to take additional lower division general education courses to satisfy the campus' general education requirements. Students may also opt to fulfill the general education requirements by completing the specific lower division general education requirements of the school or college of the campus to which the student intends to transfer.
Both the California State University and the University of California have a specific American Institutions requirement that is separate from their general education requirements. Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum will not satisfy the American Institutions requirement. Courses used to satisfy the American Institutions requirement may not be counted to satisfy either of the Humanities (area 3) or a Social and Behavioral Science (area 4) requirement. Students are encouraged to consult with a counselor or an academic advisor in developing an individual education plan. (Counseling Office, Danner Hall Room 205, (209) 954-5650)
Note: Students using the IGETC - UC GE pattern for the Associate Degree must also take COM ST 1A.

Nothing satisfies like E-mail when you're traveling. Until some bozo hits you with a one-word response or packs your mailbox full of )-:
I love E-mail: the immediacy of it, the efficiency, the portability, the instant gratification. A well-executed E-mail exchange gives me tingles, especially when I'm in the middle of nowhere -- an airport lounge, for example -- and can carry on with my work and communicate with my colleagues as if I were plugged into the network back in Boston instead of, say, held captive by a late-March blizzard in North Dakota. There's nothing more beautiful than a response from a coworker, as if I were only a cubicle away, thanking me for an attached file or piece of arcane minutiae that only I can be counted on to know off the top of my head.
But E-mail can also drive me nuts. Crazy nuts. To be sure, some of the offenses are technology driven. But most are people driven. And both play havoc with my productivity. Road warriors do not need the following baggage:* * *
People who reply to multiple questions with a one-word response. There's nothing worse than sending an E-mail message that asks two or three questions -- Should you book the $50,000 blotto for the all-important blotto-blotto affair? And can your colleague schedule a meeting with the in-house hungadunga committee? -- and getting back a one-word yes response. It's especially troubling when you're on the road and can download your E-mail just once or twice a day, usually early in the morning before anyone's in the office or late at night when everyone's home in bed. Some of your colleagues probably use the single-response technique deliberately to drive you nuts. It works.* * *
E-mail responses that reiterate your entire message. I hate E-mail responses that come back to me along with my original message. First, longer messages take extra time to download. And then there's the time you spend sorting out the response from your query. Besides, do you want to see the words you wrote late at night or early in the morning thrust back in your face? Of course not. You want answers -- preferably ones that are clear and concise, with a touch of insouciance thrown in to keep things interesting. Instead of returning entire messages with their responses, why don't your correspondents cut and paste appropriate excerpts with their answers? Because they too want to drive you nuts.* * *
Geographical notations. I don't care where you're E-mailing me from, no matter how exotic the place may be. It's one thing to tell me that you'll be late for a meeting because you are stuck at LaGuardia Airport, or that you'll be unable to get your report in because you've been taken captive by a group of tourists in Belize. But why tell me you're in an airplane over Denver, a taxicab in London, a rowboat off a Greek island, or in the middle of an airfield someplace waiting for your private jet to arrive? Letting me know you're E-mailing me from the bathroom in your suite at the Hay-Adams Hotel is just more information than I want to have. There's something here that's akin to the need people have to yell into telephones in airplanes. "Guess where I'm calling you from?" Who cares? Now if Alexander Graham Bell had felt it necessary to tell people he was calling from his office or his sitting room, that would have been understandable. But you and I are no Alexander Graham Bells. And the nuisance is only magnified by those people who need to tell you where they are but apparently feel no need to include any shred of useful information in their message. Make them stop. Make them stop now.* * *
Emoticons. Keep them to yourself. In fact, let's just outlaw those little things. I don't care if you're )-: or (-: or even |-:. I don't want to know. Besides being too cute for words, those emoticon things eat away at your productivity by taking minutes to decipher. Even when you think you've figured them out, you're often not sure if writers are expressing sympathy, regrets, or a need for help with their spastic colons.
Airport lounge credit-card phones that don't work. Have you ever tried getting those credit-card phones in airport lounges to work when you need them? OK, so maybe they aren't all in airport lounges, but you know the scenario. You're stuck in Miami International Airport for two hours waiting for your flight. You're in one of those lounges that have really bad coffee and several couches with end tables and phones that are supposedly equipped to handle data as well as voice transmission.
Invariably those phones work when you've got only 15 minutes before a flight and almost no time to unpack and wire up your laptop. But when you've got two hours and can really get some work done, you can rest assured that you won't be able to dial up your office E-mail. Nothing you do is going to work. Your only solace is in knowing that you're not the only one failing at electronic gymnastics: all around you are grown men and women with phones in various states of disassembly as they try to find a way to transmit data. They will not succeed. Their efforts are doomed. Plugging into a cellular phone -- the kind equipped for laptops -- is the only solution. And needless to say, nobody's brought one along.* * *
E-mail server breakdowns.When E-mail servers at your office don't respond when you call in, you can kiss communications good-bye. The nature of the breakdown depends on the kind of E-mail system you're on, but we've all experienced it in one form or another. Perhaps the phone lines are down at the office, and all you get is a busy signal when you dial in for messages. Perhaps the modem that answers the phone actually answers but then fails to route your call (and won't route it until the modem is reset). Perhaps the phone rings and rings and rings because the primary modem is down and the backup modem is failing to respond as well. Perhaps the computer server itself -- the one that manages your company's system -- has gone awry.
Problems happen. Backups fail. When it's the middle of the night and you're hungry for your E-mail, there's not much you can do. The only solution is to ask the system operator, better known as your "sysop," to check the server when he or she gets in the next morning. But herein lies another challenge: if you can't dial into the E-mail server, how can you contact the sysop? One solution is to leave a voice-mail message. (Remember telephones?) Another is to have a subscription to one of the commercial on-line services or an Internet account so that you can E-mail your sysop from that address.
I've been really lucky on the many occasions that I've been E-mail deprived. Our sysop, Rob, seems to keep an apartment near the office for the sole purpose of answering my late-night cries for help. No backup system around can replace a Rob. If you don't have a Rob to fix your E-mail server when it's down, consider hiring one. Consider putting the E-mail server in his apartment, next to his bed preferably, so that he'll know immediately when things go wrong. But please don't hire away our Rob. It takes years to break in a Rob, to get him just so. Leave our Rob alone, and find your own.
That's it. Just six simple problems. But wouldn't the world (at least my E-mail world) be a much better and, dare I say, more productive place if we could eradicate those six affronts to E-mail integrity? You don't agree? You think that behavior that sets E-mail etiquette back hundreds of thousands of bytes is good? Fine. There's a lovely airport lounge in Miami I'd like you to visit.* * *
