Scientists say that the December flooding was not a 20 year flood, or a 100 year flood, but a 500 YEAR FLOOD! See the story here.
To understand how bad this is, the scale looks something like this:
Winter flood
5 year flood
20 year flood
100 year flood
500 YEAR FLOOD
1000 year flood
Noah’s flood
As a reminder of the rainfall, here is a video from 180th down by IKEA
While searching through the other youtube vids of the flood, I found this one… It’s great, once you realize that the text is actually rewritten lyrics. It will make you laugh! (rated PG – for suggested swearing, but no actual swearing)
Thanks for the Levy!
As I understand it, we would have been flooded in North Renton if it wasn’t for the new levy on the west side of the river that the City and Boeing put up.
Thanks!
