Oh my F*&#!, I can't go home!

The rain has I-5 closed.

North and south bound are closed near Chehalis. WA dept. of Transportation says the only choice is heading east over the Cascades, north through Bend, further to Goldendale WA, damn near the Idaho border, then up I-90 to Bellevue...like a 15 to 17 hour drive on a nice summer day...but in a low E30 on 215/40/17s? FUCK! I can't go north!

WSDOT says to expect LENGTHY delays since many truckers are diverting over to I-84, which is one lane in either direction already!

This is just too damn weird.

That is gay. Hope that works out for you, that's seriously shitty that your stuck down there. Oh darn tho, atleast your with your girlfriend I'm guessing.

[E30Idea]

WOW, I just watched that on the news.

[Desaevious]

That's some shitty news. But because of your post I also found our I-84 that runs through my state (CT) and I-90 in MA go all the way to WA. I know they're interstates, but I never knew they were that long.

Fucking roads apparently end in the Pacific!

This is just nuts.

But, yeah, I get a couple more days with my honey, WEWT!

That's cool you get to hang with the lady. But hopefully its not causing you to miss needed work. Should be a nice break from the college-style living situation up here.

But if you do start to feel frisky and want to drive around, just don't. The weather/roads are just as bad on this side of the mountains. I-90 was closed earlier today from North Bend to here (Ellensburg) due to a large avalanche. West Ellensburg was flooded a bit earlier today, and I haven't driven out there to see since then. It's supposed to get bad until about early afternoon tomorrow.

Yesterday (Tuesday) morning there was about 14-16 inches of snow on the ground and it was snowing. About 36 hours later there is just scattered snow around and all of the streams/rivers/creeks are high as shit and moving quickly.

I thought it was complete bullshit when the bank forced me to get flood insurance in order to give me a mortgage, but now I see why. I would sure hate to see my things and house destroyed.

Anywho enough babbling. I can't sleep so I ramble. Have fun with your mini vacation.

Fin.

Wow that sucks dude! I-15 has never closed over here because of rain or snow.. it's just permanently gridlocked because of construction.

[smonkbmw]

i remember this going on for 2 weeks last year, i dont see how its going to be all good in 2 days this year. we didnt have the snow and rain like we did this year.

[StereoInstaller1]

The fucking rivers aren't supposed to crest until 10ish tonight, so I just might be making that meet!

[Jand3rson]

Hwy 26 going over to Hood is closed too, the wind knocked a bunch of huge-ass trees down.

[drivnvordaedge]

This happened last winter too.

Head to the coast instead of over the mountains, go to Oregon through Astoria.

I love how you guys say "I-5". lolz. Im on THE 5, not I-5. I live near the intersection of the 134 and the 2 freeways. Ive always loved things having to do with dialects, accents, regional versions of language. That kind of shit is so interesting to me.
