We're at 160% or normal precipitation this year in the Cascades. The ground everywhere is Jello. That said, the models are saying our area will be to the equivalent to 7.0+ if the subduction zones goes off as predicted. Winter before last there were several million board feet of large Douglas Fur that blocked all of the roads for days as a result of a snow storm. You nailed it regarding the bridges. We have steep canyons, granitic and serpentine geological conditions and too many bridges. I'd like to say that radio is a hobby but the fact is that my only motive was that lives are at stake. I'm learning.
