I'm trying to find some seasoned hardwoods to toss in these batches (they usually only have room for a half cord) and splitting them to 1/8ths so they don't have to. If you have some season hard wood let me know - it would be great to have a hot mix

Just talked to John - intermittently as he is on two radios, a cell and laptop at the same time.
Nothing compared to what they had to do during Katrina or Rita but plenty of people are being evac'd now from the south end, Skagit valley and they are sending some out to the North Bend area just in case. Most up in the Bellingham area are set up with more sand trucks on the way.
Its weird this year since there were no hurricanes but I did tell him he'd be gone somewhere, just never thought it would be within 20 miles.
Note to everyone: those sand trucks don't get time for a good spraying between runs. Stay waaaaaaaaay back from them or pass as you can safely, they are throwing small rocks and bits of gritty sand like crazy running the freeways for transport.

I think Snoqualmie and Fall City are getting it much worse than North Bend is, I heard they evac'ed a good portion of Snoqualmie, and Highway 202 is closed due to water on the roadway.
My GF went out to see if she could get close to Snoqualmie Falls and snap some pictures... should be absolutely spectacular if she can get them.

Wow, I knew the Snoqualmie River was higher than I'd ever seen it today, but I'm reading now that it broke an all-time record for how much water was flowing through it. No wonder the flooding out here was so bad. Apparently the city of Carnation was completely inacessible due to flooding. I also read that the upper Preston bridge washed out.
Got some pretty awesome pics of Snoqualimie Falls yesterday afternoon, I will have to post them up. There was so much water going over the falls that the spray made it really difficult to get a clear shot.
