Heavy
rain in the Cascade foothills late Thursday caused the flooding,
prompting the King County Flood Warning Center to issue a Phase 3 flood
alert – the level associated with moderate flooding. River levels
receded throughout the day Friday, and the Flood Warning Center closed
by the afternoon.
Now
is the perfect time to prepare for fall and winter flooding. Residents
should have emergency kits ready. If you live in areas prone to floods
or slides, have sand bags on hand. Also, have an evacuation plan with
routes and emergency phone numbers written down for each member of the
family. It should include a pre-determined meeting point in case family
members get separated.
Metro is offering both regular and special
transit service to the Seattle Fall Home Show this weekend at the Qwest
Field Events Center.
