Renton flooding

Dec08
2007 Written by Randy Corman

I found this on youtube. Flooding down in the valley, next to IKEA. This street was allowed to stay open during Monday’s flooding, but I would not have driven through.

The quality of this video is very good for a home video, and the informal narration helps you understand what is happening, but there are some profane exclamations in spots, as the water gets high around the vehicles. So turn the sound of if this will offend you.

    Ironic how wetlands still want to be what they are, no matter how much we allow them to be turned into industrial parks.
