Photographie en couleur, avec en premier plan, le tronc d'un arbre recouvert de mousse et de fougère tombé en travers d'un ruisseau en crue. La durée d'exposition de 0,8 seconde a permis d'enregistrer le déplacement rapide de l'eau au second plan. Des arbres occupent les deux rives du ruisseau serpentant dans une vallée dont on perçoit une crête tout en haut du cadrage..
Some good drone footage here of Hamilton, WA in Skagit County. They're right next to the Skagit river, and just from looking back and forth from Google Maps (thanks to that big ugly building near the bright blue house), as of this morning they're under 3-5ft of water. Bad times. Most of those people will probably have to live somewhere else through this winter, because I doubt anything is getting remediated there soon. Hopefully everyone evacuated.

All Skagit County residents living within the 100-year floodplain should evacuate immediately, county officials advised Wednesday night.
That's everything in yellow in the map above.
The 100-year floodplain includes areas along the Skagit River and most areas in the western part of the county, including parts of Mount Vernon and much of Burlington and Sedro-Woolley.
“LEVEL 3 — GO! ALL RESIDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN SHOULD EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT WAIT,” read the alert from Skagit County officials.
i'm outside of city limits but the town we live in posted this earlier:
"residents should prepare for the possibility that access in and out of Duvall will be extremely limited or not available beginning tomorrow morning. If you remain in Duvall, you may be unable to leave for approximately 24 hours or more. If you leave, you may not be able to return until Friday or later. Please make decisions now based on your work, family, medical, pet and travel needs. "
Ebey Island (an area of farmland and wildlife east of Everett), as well as the Three Rivers Mobile Park West of Monroe are being evacuated due to predicted flooding of the Snohomish River. There are already half a dozen or so road closures 😰
(For those not familiar with the area, State Route 2 is a trestle, thus not likely to be affected in spite of being directly on top of the evacuated area).
Composite satellite map of North Everett and its vicinity. The area is characterized by a dense urban core labeled Everett. The shape of the area is defined by the delta of the Snohomish River. On the other side of the river, there are two large islands shaped by the arms of the estuary: Ebey and Smith Island. All of Ebey Island, whose area is equivalent to that of the urban core, is to be evacuated December 10th at 1 p.m.
In western Washington the next round of flooding on Wednesday will be worse than the flooding on Monday.
The blue diamonds on the map show the location of rain gages where the water level is forecast to exceed the previous all time high water mark.
The squares are clickable streamgages.
Purple = Major flood expected
Red = Moderate flood expected
For details, including near real time water levels, open the map, click a gage and follow the link. For a description of the impacts based on water level, scroll down below the graph.
The screenshot impacts are for the Skagit River at Mt. Vernon which is forecast to exceed the current record high water mark by an additional 4 feet. 😟 #PNW#WAwx#Seattle#Flood#SevereWX
Scientists used historical tidal data to predict that future storms in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook will produce surging waves reaching at least 11 feet.
Another wander around the RAD in #Asheville this week, brought us to the RiverLink building and its upstairs gallery.
The height of the 2 worst floods was stenciled on the brick of the entrance, which is mind-blowing, when one sees how far away and far above the river this building actually is. Inside, they had 2 photos at the worst of the flooding September 2024 during #Helene. #Flood
A board labeled "Hurricane Helene Warehouse Studios 9/27/24" which has 2 photos mounted on it, both showing images of this building at the height of the flood. The entire area was inundated, and building nearer the water flooded at least up to the second story. One can't even begin to make out where the river banks used to be, the water is everywhere.
In case you haven’t heard the news in Alaska, there was a devastating typhoon that hit the western part of the state and more storms are on the way. Thousands of people are displaced and have lost everything.

In response to our investigation that raised questions about the effectiveness of Boring’s pitch to build tunnels to ease Houston flooding, Musk said tunnels can be added if more floodwater needs to be moved. Engineers said it is not that simple.
For Blake Gerard, a fourth-generation farmer working the flood-prone fields of the Mississippi River bottomlands in Alexander County, Ill., there was no sense in fighting nature.
Why Some Farmers Are Stuck Raising Crops That No Longer Thrive
Some farmers keep growing in flood- and drought-prone fields because subsidies soften the losses, while federal programs meant to help them change course have been underfunded and mired in bureaucracy. Under Trump, those programs may weaken further.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says Elon Musk is “one of the only people in the world” who could build Houston’s much-needed tunnel system for flood water mitigation.

At least four people are dead and 50 more are missing after a massive flash flood and a landslide leveled dozens of homes in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Read more from @CBSNews https://flip.it/-Z7BNm #India#Disaster#Asia#Landslide#Flood
If we gave as much daily corporate news to the children killed in school shooting attacks as we do #flood deaths, we might be able to change something we can control. #Uvalde #Texas #NoKings !
Over the years, Texas legislators have declined to pass at least three bills that would create siren or alert systems, a tool that Kerr County officials tried to secure for years before the July 4 flooding.
Die Flut im #Ahrtal, die 2021 auch weitere Teile von Rheinland-Pfalz und Nordrhein-Westfalen traf, zählt zu den verheerendsten Naturkatastrophen in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Heute gedenken wir der Opfer und danken allen, die damals geholfen haben – mit Mut, Zusammenhalt und unermüdlichem Einsatz.
Fotoaufnahme aus der Luft vom überfluteten Ahrtal mit zerstörten Häusern, brauner Flut und entwurzelten Bäumen. Im Vordergrund ein Zitat von Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz, weißer Text auf dunkelblauem Overlay:
„Vor vier Jahren ereignete sich im Ahrtal eine Katastrophe. Ihre Folgen sind bis zum heutigen Tage zu spüren und zu sehen. Wir müssen in Zukunft dafür sorgen, dass Betroffenen schneller und effektiver geholfen wird. Das sind wir den Opfern schuldig, an die wir heute erinnern.“
