Washington state and the pacific northwest have suffered grievously in the last few years from swings in the weather, the likes of which have not been seen since the 60’s and 70’s. Starting with the 70-100 mph wind storm and flash flooding of 2006 that killed a total of 14 people in the Pacific northwest, then the three-six feet of snow that fell across washington state.

Between late 2008 and early 2009 collapsing roofs and tearing off gutters around the state, and now with more undoubtedly on it way the flash flood of 2009 that is forcing many people to evacuate there family homes. All this plus the shorter colder summers and the bad economy are making simply surviving an almost insurmountable challenge. So will it end and will we survive? that is a question only the future can tell.
