Pacific Northwest Continues to See Wicked Weather
For people who live in the Pacific Northwest, this year has come in with a bang. They likely thought that they might be putting an end to the severe weather by saying goodbye to 2008, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Instead, they just found that they were seeing more and more storms coming in off of the ocean and bringing problems.
Places along the Washington coast like Ocean Shores, Aberdeen, and Montesano got several inches of snow, and some people said it was more than the area had received at one time in decades. Now it’s raining and there are all types of flash flood watches and warnings up and down the Oregon and Washington coasts.
When it will be ending is something that residents and meteorologists are both wondering about. Each time it seems that there might be a break in the wet weather it’s brief and then it’s right back to raining again. That area of the country is used to rainy weather this time of year, but not to the excessive rain and snowfall that they’ve been having. There doesn’t appear to be an ending in sight.
