    It really does show how people come together when something like that people coming from different communities around the flooding they show that there is still in our country

      Is this where the "waterfalls" are, too? I was on this road last night and one of them was almost pouring into the road. It was so so loud.

    and nobody is talking about the cause of this... the mass deforestation and clear cutting fosters more flooding... this will only get worse unless we make a massive change....

      The weather channel says it does happen like this from time to time. Not the first time, but our population has grown and more are affected. We should not be building on floodplains.

    I always felt like those trees were going to fall on the road. I have family in Bham who don't understand why I would rather drive up from Seattle on Highway 9, and enter along the west side of Lake Whatcom.

      "People helping other people" is going to do this? You government bashers live in a fantasy world. Local heroes can help but "the government" is running 99% of the rescue and cleaning up the mess. Always do. How else would it get done? A huge organized volunteer squad magically shows up with all the necessary training,communication, shelters, rescue teams and heavy equipment? No.

    • @elenabianco1161
      @elenabianco1161 3 роки тому

      Not exactly. An example of good government is the flood wall that prevented a disaster in downtown Mount Vernon. That was my tax dollars at work. Better to have government work to prevent a disaster than have people left to help each other afterwards.

    • @BlackEpyon
      @BlackEpyon 3 роки тому

      Usage of natural gas is rather limited with no ventilation fan for your stove or blowers for your furnace to operate. You'll have hot water, but practically, that's about it unless you've got a natural gas powered barbecue on your patio.
