The Flood of 2007

On December 3rd, 2007, the day after the snow storm, Seattle was hit with a rain storm that is unusual even for Seattle. Over worked drainage systems could not keep up with the deluge.
Once permiable land has mostly been dug up and paved over so run off was extreme. Weyerhauser and their habit of clear cutting all area froests left hillsides barren and prone to landslides as the exposed earth soaked up water without the protection and root systems
of the detroyed trees.
