Rain, Flood, Avalanche! (Updated)

Unfortunately, the Great Snow of 2008 is being followed by the Great Flood of 2009. The power of Mother Nature...awesome but brutal! Temperates shot way up and snow is melting in the mountains! Seems as though every river is flooding, and many, many people have been evacuated. The mountain pass highways are closed due to avalanches and flooding. I-5 between Seattle and Portland is closed because of flooding.

Here's a video of the damage to I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass: http://www.kirotv.com/video/18443441/index.html
