I think so... Though I'm sure there are others not fairing so well...

Here is a link to a River Level Graph (http://ahps2.wrh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=sew&gage=glbw1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1&toggles=10,7,8,2,9,15,6) i usually use for fishing/rafting.
Emergencies like this I go out back and monitor "real time".

The river is still rising down below so It's not over yet... :hungover

Holy crap Batman!!! I had no idea it was that bad on the wet side. Even though it rained for about 20 hours straight here (Tuesday night through Wednesday night), the Wenatchee River never got high enough to warrant a second glance. I looked out the window and could tell it was running higher and it was an ugly brown, but nothing to worry about. I hope everything is OK for you guys. damn......

Using the NOAA link it shows the river level is 50% of what it was at peak. I hope you and yours are doing OK there.

After our visit to the far NW we feel it's "God's country".

My thoughts are with you - that's a heck of a way to have to clean house prior to Thanksgiving!
