Bellingham, Sedro Woolley and Mount Vernon Washington seeing record flooding, Interstate 5 north is shut down due to trees and mud on the roadways. Flooded roads, flooding in local lakes. Homes are flooded with water inside, water is still rising thru Tuesday
Those people who are out there with warning signs and trucks and directing traffic and trying their best to make the situation a little less dangerous for everyone are awesome. They definitely could've picked a job where they can sit in an office somewhere not having to deal with the harsh weather but they wanna do this so much respect from me
Why would anyone thumbs down this video?
Maybe they work for wisdot,or branches of govt ,and they don't want the world to know how poorly maintained,and prepared the liberal mecca is.
@@sammyholloway334 wisdot? This ain’t Wisconsin homey. This is Washington state, land of the green trees.
Maybe they thought they'd see some tata's...
Prayers to be safe especially to all rescue and tow truck drivers.
Thank you for all you do so well. 🇺🇸🙏
The mountain sides and area right above the slide on I-5 south of Bellingham has been extensively cleared of trees by logging in the past few years.
You cut down all the trees, cover hillsides with condos, seal the drainage with parking lots and roadways, and so you get to see the results of your handiwork... it's plain to see.
Would ya rather have your homes gone by fire like up in the Nile just past naches Washington . I lost every single thing I owned and damned near my life because I don't drive and am in a wheelchair at least with water I could float fire no chance
@@jodyyork3821 Id rather have the forests maintained! The forests burn like they do because the forest floors are covered in kindling! The new construction needs to consider the collateral damage BEFORE THE BUILD! Sorry to hear of you didaster... God bless
You're not alone. BC Canada has catastrophic flooding. Part of the Coaghilla Highway collapsed cutting off the interior from Vancouver.
I live in western Washington. It's nothing like that in most areas. These are very isolated situations.
I live in Bellingham and it is very much like that. We have people being evacuated in the county by boat. There is flooding and mudslides everywhere. Many roads closed, Maple Falls and East are completely isolated. It is like that here in Western Washington.
@@GambolingwithMonique I've driven all over Clallam and Jefferson Counties today. Very little impact anywhere I have been. Guess we're protected by the Olympics in ways that some areas are not.
@@dougfriendly7676 From WSDOT a few minutes ago "Both directions of I-5 in the Bellingham area will remain closed overnight due to flooding and active slides threatening the highway. Northbound I-5 will be closed at Nulle Road (milepost 246) and southbound I-5 will be closed at North Lake Samish (milepost 244). Our crews will be staffing the closure points overnight and we will reevaluate the situations in the daylight Tuesday. Please do not attempt to go around the closures, for everyone’s safety.
There have been three slides on northbound I-5 in the Nulle Road area Monday. With the hillside still active it is not safe to reopen, though we plan to create access for emergency vehicles. On southbound I-5 near Barnes Creek, heavy rain and debris plugged culverts, leading to about eight inches of water on the highway and creating unsafe conditions.
There is no set detour for either closure as there have been flooding and slide issues on SR 11 as well as other county and city roads. We advise everyone who can avoid driving through the area to do so until Tuesday morning.
There are multiple other highway closures throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties due to flooding and slides. Our crews will continue to monitor and assess conditions and will reopen when it is safe to do so. We will update this post on Tuesday when we know more information."
@@GambolingwithMonique Sounds unpleasant. As I originally stated, it's not like that in most areas.
@@GambolingwithMonique I live in Bellingham and it isn't.
I cant believe there are 79 down thumbs.
this is amazing timely footage.
None of this is on mainstream media in California. We send our prayers for warmth and safety to the folks in Washington State. 😞🙏🏻
79 people going GRRRRR Climate Change is a hoax GRRRRR.
81 thumps down
:
JINA POULUTION caused this
Coal!
Bots do that on every video eventually. Or 14 yr old kids
@@NightRunner417 climate change is real. Jesus and God is a hoax
I say F Crappafornia
Wow 😳 the play set and cabins inundated is telling but the erosion of roadways is truly incredible
That was my thought 🙄.
Here in British Columbia as well. Stay safe.
Blessings to BC.
Thank you to all who have traveled and taken photographs and videos to inform the public of the dangers, damage needs, problems and shown the help provided by so many in our area during this critical weather event of Nov. 2021. Thank you for providing vital information and time sensitive weather events of this year. Thank you to all individuals who have put their life energy into helping and protecting their friends, family and fellow citizens during this weather crisis. You carry the love, compassion, concern, sensitivity and glue which unites and connects us as the human family on this planet.
How about if we, Californians, build a canal from Washington and let the water flow south when you start flooding? I think we buy hydro power from you already.
Good idea. Or growers could phase out almonds, rice, beets, cotton and other water intensive crops.
No they are going to build fileds of solar panels to extract sea water...
You will just open water ways and drain it back into the ocean to protect the microorganisms
I have said the same thing for SK Canada's flooding problems.
Only if we can float the mayor and governor down that canal! And we do not want to trade either🤙
Come next spring good place to do some panning.
Nor authorities or regular people ever ready to collect some water when it rains yet alarmed for water shortage all over the world!?
Better change the name from the Evergreen State to the Everwet State. I was a Washingtonian for 60 years, enjoyed both seasons: August and Rain. Gave up the rain and flooding for the occasional lava flow and hurricane. 86 and sunny today and most every day. Can’t say I miss WA🤙🏽🌴☀️🍍🌺🏄🏻♂️😎
Owned five acres in 1980 in Whatcom County. the first thing I noticed was this stuff hitting my head all the time called "rain". Bought uphill up high. Locals?? All along the mighty Skagit and down in the lowlands where land was 5% less money.
Is this the time we start taking our infrastructure seriously?
Patrick M you'd think so but.........nah.
I-5 closure due to flooding near Bellingham, and this morning near Ferndale, Washington the northbound lanes were closed.
Ahah! I went to college in Bellingham. Know Ferndale too.
Feeling your pain. We've been drenched the last 2 weeks in Kitsap. You're getting floods and we had a tornado alert.
Back in the 90's a remember seeing a house floating in the Skagit river aiming for a bridge! You can see why the trees grow so big up in the Northwest!
lol, too bad most of those trees you might've seen are lumber. These days the logging has ramped up, and the hills are looking more bare each year. Then a strong rainstorm rolls in, and the soil gets washed out, which leads to floodings of these proportions.
Hard to believe it was 110 degrees here less than 5 months ago.
Ikr
114 at my house
@@BondJFK - in America, we use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.
@War-Thog i was awake. It was dark all night, with patchy light towards sunrise
I Blaine, We lost our access road to I-5. It got wash out by a creek. It’ll be weeks before its fixed.
Nice, thank you for your updates.
Watching from the Philippines. Stay safe and dry if you can.
From Vancouver we feel your pain its ugly out here
For sure though at least i am in East side downtown and its not so be here
Which Vancouver? BC I'm guessing, but...
@@dwlopez57 BC indeed
@@rachelbrinkley3240 ok thanks. I've heard of people getting confused and going toward the wrong one.
Stop cutting down the trees and building houses!!!!!
Flooding rejuvinates fields. We are to blame for allowing flood plains to be built on. Roads will need bigger culverts, with low areas built to withstand an over flow without significant erosion. Some better planning while rebuilding the damaged areas will result in a superior outcome from the next rainfall event... and they WILL become a regular occurrence
Whatever is in the chemtrails must be working
Tomorrow at sunrise, don't forget to thank God for inviting again your light to Good Morning!
Washington State residents are also gonna be soaked with rain taxes.
Heh, such as taxing us for Seattle's monorail system? BS
A monorail system that only benefits the Seattle area
I was just at Friday Harbor last month. I'm glad i left when I did.
Thing is it rains a boatload on the west coastal areas of Washington state, and lots of snow in the Eastern parts. Every year. Always has. Of course there's heavier storms occasionally, but that happens everywhere. Should be prepared for it. No excuses. Terrible leadership. (Actually zero leadership.)
Another expert...where should leadership have diverted all the water to? (I know you've got the answer)
You are absolutely right!!
In some places on the West side of the Cascades this happen yearly….pretty glad I now live in the intelligent side of the mountains…..Go Cougs
Maybe if they stopped removing the trees and building in the wetlands this wouldn't be so bad
Go Cougs!!
Send some to Arizona we'll take it we need rain be safe.
Y’all wanted/needed water up and down the west coast due to crappy management of resources…well, ya got it. Flood plains are fairly easy to identify. Putting families…neighborhoods and schools in harms way is foolish and irresponsible. It is really sad to see such a tragedy to lives and property due mostly to unreasonable exploitation of land and resources and very, very poor planning.
Snark fixes nothing.
Looks like deforestating the mountains is reaping its rewards in the form of mass soil movements, aka erosion and floods.
At what point did you see deforestation? I saw none in the video.
No silly it was the 6 inches of rain in 72 hours. The whole of the us has been cut like 3 times
Without the roots to hold down the soil, these torrential rain storms will just take with them an entire slope, causing what is known as a slope failure. Aka erosion, and floodings.
@@islandvibez Pay attention. Your deforestation blather is 30 years out of date. Where you see bare mountains these days, it's from fires, not saws.
I've been up and down in a thousand times. Never seen rain that bad there. Surprised it isn't all snow.
Well, it was 55-60 degrees so snow was still hiding
they need post 10 there, he'd set them up.
Find your culverts, people! 😀
So what areas was effected like what cities. Used to live there saw mount st Helens blow. So want to know ty.
If you voted for Jay inslee you deserve to sit in your car for hours as he fired 400 Department of transportation workers that we need to clean this up to "keep us safe".
Gonna get much worse with the upcoming winter
Great audio!
Same in B.C. 275 people trapped between 2 slides.
Two slides?
Is it still raining there?
@@michaeltruman8158 The rain has stopped for now but it is super windy. 😬
Yup, we trapped in manning Park for 2 days now
@@AA14CBF still raining here, 2 solid days now, Manning Park, at least 100 of us here trapped
Very sad for all the elderly and families!
Sad for everyone affected.
But not sad for anybody else? Or do single younger people that maybe loose everything not count?
Chuckanut Road must be in really bad shape
Every November we had tons of flooding and mudslides.
Prayers. To all God bless.
Well that's a fine kettle of fish. Stay safe everybody.
This is why the State is named WASHington.
Stay safe , it is awful 🙏
Not enough water...to much water...
Well, “Just another event” we are told. Please wake up!🙏🏻
I hope everyone was prepared for this.
Well at least it’s good rain and some might reach the dams and fill them up a little bit more all rain is good rain
I'm worried about my son in Clark county
Where is Post10 ??
He is busy evicting the beavers....lol
10 miles from the border
We prayed for rain all summer so Thank You🙏🏻
I don't think you needed this much rain , now pray to make it stop.
If we not using heavy equipment to protect us against floods, or drought then praying to God is the answer. American state of affairs, - but my country Australia is exactly in the some position- floods every time if rain ...drought follow. Global warming ( stupidity !).
Better be ready for Cascadia to wake up. You won't be so eager then.
@@rebelfighter5249 the duality will be dissolved and harmony will be restored 🕊🙏🏻🕊💜
That happened in 1996 too.
Nice video
Stay safe out there sending prayers
And it's been a dry, windy 90+ in southern California... for DAYS. Extremes everywhere.
Didnt it just rain in ca and put out fires ?
Orroville dam fill up ?
Extremes...
Or seasons?
google drought monitor :) Climate Change is causing global extremes
we are having an extremely normal year....just like last year and the last 30
Dude, Totally.
it's like we're not connected to a global telecommunication porn stream sending us nothing but the extremes from around the world at a rate we're unable to process and for areas about which we know nothing of the daily, yet compare to our own.
look up "Pacific Temperate Rainforest, moron... then look up Southern California DESERT.
next you're going to tell me that the SALT FLATS aren't the N. Georgia Mountains, and deforested because of CLIMATE CHANGE...
and you @ Jord a. you just hush your xlimate denyin' maouf.
And its going to happen again if it keeps on raining through the night roads are already flooded with water in Whatcom County
I used to drive up to Washington all the time to deliver goods to good people and it was either raining, has rained or getting ready to, haha i miss the rain.
Maybe this is a punishment for keeping inslee in power?
Oración por Washington
Why not build a pipeline from the east to nevada or California and give the water to people who need it youll see less flooding yeah itll cost $$$ but shit we all in title to that water too problem solve and nomore floods and the desert can use as much water as they need
It's still beautiful even with the flooding.
God is making sure there are no more wildfires in Washington State....He is tired of man destroying his creation for evil purposes.
These are the beginning of birth pains.the truth will set you free. May God bless.😌👌👀👍🙏
Do these people know there living in flood prone areas or is this not usual?
I think that mostly they know. If I lived there and had to rebuild after a flood my next house would be a boat.
Its not "normal" but 2 huge storms moved up from the central pacific and nailed us pretty good fot 2 weeks solid. Its starting to dry out a bit now
Little children be safe❤
"Lake front home ", literally step out your kitchen door to go water skiing.
I live on the coast, at least we have a place for the water to, flow...so far, another strom is on it's way
Looks like rives and lakes are taking back what was theres
Such a stupid comment.
@post 10 could have that drained in 20 mins.
This is how we wash and clean our roads, clean our roads all the long live day. Mother nature and earth just doing its sing along song.
It happens now and again. No worries.
When is it going to stop raining?
Flooding sucks, i lived by the Ohio rover my entire life. It doesnt even have to rain for for us to get flooded because of the way the rivers flow around here.
Seeing water flowing over the road and falling like a little waterfall was slightly unnerving.
Will it ever be built back better again?
Not if it’s a racist road
"Recent precipitation has improved both streamflows and soil moisture, causing drought conditions to improve in many areas of the state. The entire state still remains classified as abnormally dry to exceptional drought in the U.S. Drought Monitor." Washington State Department of Ecology, October 25, 2021.
Fear mongering. Fear mongering. Fear mongering.
@@robert9595 stating facts, too bad you can't handle that. You'd have a normal life if you could.
The planet doesn't give a shit about human beings its doing what it wants
It's doing what it does. Is no want or giving a shit. It's not anthropomorphic.
Where is this? I'm in Bellingham
What part of Washington. Located
How’s Snohomish county
BC is wrecked with same storm!
That here in Longview way out on ocean beach
What do the gold prospectors say?
((blurb!!))
And we start round two today
Well there goes the rest of the supply chain
not for salmon
Meanwhile in Cental California we can't get a drop of rain. It's turning into a dessert.
WHAT SUPPLY TRAIN?????
Poor forest management and fire destruction along with bark beetles in B.C. 10 to 15 years of pine destruction.
That’s why it’s called the Evergreen state because of all the rain. But this is just a “little “ too much.
No it's called the evergreen state because of the evergreen trees. Most of Washington state is a desert.
@@evognayr that’s true but you can also look at it another way because of all the rain we get.
Where?
These curses will continue happening. As long as they do not recognize what they have done to society slavery all of that
Happens every year
No it doesn't. 🙃 Jesus is coming. This was all foretold.
Yah, I wad gonna say, can you please show us the last we had a flood in November?
@@Inlinetodie it's a little earlier than normal, but yes literally every winter we have flooding in these same areas. Might be December, January, February or November.
@@maranatha8148 actually it does. And it was foretold. The weather service warned us about this
@@dwlopez57 I've traveled and lived in this region since 92...I always travel before this time to avoid the snow...never a flood, I'm in BC, I'm trapped with a 100 people, we've all lived here majority of our lives and our older, not one of us recalls anything like this since the 70s and 80s
Calling Washington State citizens,
Move to Minnesota, Minnesota nice 😀
Even in january?
About time, terrible drought here in the west
Im not too surprised...used to live there myself
1970’s climate change: Global flooding due to melting ice caps n rising sea levels.
2020’s climate change: sudden downpours causing flooding and increasing ice cap
Something is very WRONG.
