Okay, I understand that dramatic headlines make for better newspaper sales, and there were a few smaller rivers around here at record highs, but the not the BIG river, the mighty Snohomish<\/strong>. In any case, as I was out and about today, I biked down to river to check it out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is something primal about standing next to a swollen river. It’s power can be felt just by looking at it. You really get a feeling of Mother Nature ain’t to be messed with just by standing on the banks of a river on the verge of flooding.\u00a0 I felt that looking at the Snohomish rushing by.

Ever been in a REAL flood?\u00a0 Kinda sucks, don’t it?
