Yes, I've been watching the footage, it's REALLY bad there.

I live in the Portland area and we were spared the worst of it. I was amazed by the footage of Vernonia and the Chehalis area.

Seeing people being helicoptered off their roofs....wow.

It is really bad in Chehalis Leah. I just saw a report about all the animals that drowned. A dairy farmer on the report was in tears about his beloved cows that drowned in a barn. Very sad.
