The Nooksack River on a sunnier day!
It’s has been a gully washer of a day! The rain began yesterday in earnest. My electronic rain gauge showed over 2” yesterday for the week. About 75% of that came yesterday. It reset sometime this morning-probably close to 8:00 AM. I say that because while on a Zoom meeting from 8-10 AM, I watched it climb to over an inch in just 2 hours! 😳 It rained so hard at times, I was surprised I didn’t see trees going by the window like boats! It was crazy! ☔️☔️☔️
Last Sunday, this is what the river looked like.
Today, it was a raging, rolling river of mud and debris! I couldn’t get a picture as I was driving, but all the rocks you see in Sunday’s picture- well suffice it to say there are no rocks! It was just churning water from trees on one side to the other!
This picture from USGS river water levels, shows the river depth at 11 AM this morning.
Then, two hours later…..
An increase of 9”!
At 5 PM…….
An increase of almost one and a half feet! Keep in mind that flood stage is 83 feet.
Here’s the latest on the river levels tonight.
The afternoon was spent at…..
There must have been a pumpkin decorating competition amongst the baristas.
See @silvertop’s post for the one that won.
Then it was off to Costco. We found a little bit bigger hot tub like ours on display.
I texted my coworker as she is considering one for her husband for his birthday/Christmas present. This one’s a little bigger than ours, but they are so much easier to manage chemically than the bigger ones and cheaper to run as well! 😎
For the moment, it’s let up on the rain. More rain is forecast for tomorrow, so we’ll see how that ends up. I’m sure the folks down in the valley are a mite nervous-and I don’t blame them! It makes me nervous for them! It smacks of the devastating flood from 2021.
That’s gonna be it for now. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! Have a blessed Sunday! 😇 🙏🌏🙏

NKJV Psalm 47:1-9
Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
For the LORD Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth.
He will subdue the peoples under us,
And the nations under our feet.
He will choose our inheritance for us,
The excellence of Jacob whom He loves.
Selah
God has gone up with a shout,
The LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with understanding.
God reigns over the nations;
God sits on His holy throne.
The princes of the people have gathered together,
The people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is greatly exalted.
