Here comes the flood, there goes the flood, here comes another one?

Today  was supposed to be warmer….it isn’t.  What a surprise the weatherman was wrong!  

Two weeks ago …without warning, the homes on Seal Way were ALMOST …INUNDATED. Water up to the second steps on the porches.

“Lake Seal Beach” was 1/2 mile long.  From the pier to the jetty.  Then it subsided and the city improved the “berm” and furiously pumped water back into the sea.  

Then the residents relaxed until…..the CBS truck showed back up in the beach parking lot. I’ve spoken to those residents and they say while the TV truck being parked on the beach lot all night with their bright light on the first few homes is…..  a little “ghoulish”…it is sometimes the only way they know they are in trouble.

Anyhow, this week they dodged a bullet and were just starting to relax when they were told to expect up to 8 inches of rain next week.  OK…but will it come with big surf, they wondered?  

The National Weather Service says there is an unusual amount of rain scheduled for the coast and lots of snow for the local mountains unless a warmer low pressure systems joins the ones coming from the north.

All due to start Sunday night and we can expect more than two months supply in five days!

“What’s Up” wants all our neighbors to know WE DON’T WANT TO PRINT a story about your houses getting swamped.  When this storm is over we want to see Seal Way just as it is today.
