Man, did it dump. 4.86 inches in 24 hours, the wettest day in Seattle recorded history. Outside of the immense growth of Lake Wilbanks (also known as the big divot in our "driveway") and some erosion by the "lakeshore," we made it through without a hitch. It helps to live, literally, on the crest of a hill.
I had to buy new tires for the Mazda over the weekend (eight tires in 14 days, so no Christmas for the next two years), and I am happy I did. Car was doing whatever the opposite of hydroplaning is. Thank you Les Schwab! (Now, where's my free beef?)
