Flooding near Sumas, Washington


The water was rising in Northwest Washington as well. My sister Nancy's place was surrounded, right up to the steps going into the house. Their farm was inundated with water as well so the cows and calves had to be moved to higher ground, aka neighboring farms. Dirt banks/dikes were constructed, lots of gravel was hauled in and things were starting to look a bit better by the next day.
