Same up here in Seattle Dave. The chain of storms with a little pinapple express have been drenching us all. Gills have begun to form on my body and soon I will adapt to this never ending deluge of water. Thank goodness I put in a drain basin with sump pump under house in October (when I am rich I will hire some guys to dig a deep deep deep drainage canal around the back and sids of house so water will not go there as I live at the bottom of the hill and collect everyones water above me). It's working like a dream so far. I have a camera fixed under the house pointed at the basin to make sure pump is doing its job.
