We ended up with a bit over 42 inches of rain... Including 26 inches in 24 hours.

I'm just glad that it was WARM rain as opposed to that cold stuff that falls from the sky up north :)

      • Yeah, that sounded pretty awful. — Poppet, Mon Sep 11 2:58pm
        I suppose you got off lighter than many. Hell of a lot of work, expense, and pain-in-the-ass factor, though...
        • Yeah... I'm OK... — Sprout, Mon Sep 11 4:00pm
          Had to move a bunch of my stuff so that the drywall and kitchen can be gutted... And I'm helping gut my friends house who got a couple of feet of water as opposed to my couple of inches. I have a... more

              It was a very comfortable bed. Fortunately I have some time to shop around to try and find just the right mattress to last me another while. With my back issues, I have no problem spending money no a ... more
          • Legit silver lining, I s'pose. — Poppet, Tue Sep 12 1:10pm
            Nothing like a new bed! =) While things were nasty up here for a few days, I was personally never in any danger and neither were my properties. Nothing in the fire area (and I don't have breathing... more

              From the (limited) reading I have done on the topic, it appears there are a number of faults along the west coast of the US that are believed to be long overdue for movement. Apparently some... more

                I have a handful of residential properties in Portland, and I'd been living in one in a neighborhood called King's Heights. As the name might imply, it's known for hillside views (and some really... more

                  I live in a forest. On top of a ridge (4,000) feet. The last time it burned was in '29'. An old timer described it to me. Basically I reside on my potential funeral pyre given the "right" conditions. ... more
