Our flood time is coming in the next month or two and will last potentially through March of the new year. It all depends on the rainfall. The river is shallow and wide. They won't dredge it as it's needed because of laws protecting the fishing rights of others. I get that, but protect the fish and not the lives of people? Seems a bit off to me, but I don't make the rules.

I hope that neither you all, nor we, are affected much, if at all this year! Take care!

Aren't those months used to be winter? I never thought it rains there during winter.

Winter in the Northwest, can be tons of rain; sometimes snow; most often wind storms and almost always, 6+ 'nor'easters! Nor'easters are storms that come from the north east and can contain, freezing winds, blowing snow (not always accumulated snow, though) and cold, cold temperatures. We have seen 4+feet of snow in the recent past, and if what they call 'the pineapple express' arrives, (warm subtropical airflow) then it's rain, wind and more rain! Sometimes the wind storms are the worst as we have such big trees all around. They fall, the power goes out sometimes for days. We have solar power as well as grid power, so only our well is really affected. However, it's hard to shower with no water! Last October, we lost power 7 times in the month! It was kind of crazy. Just stick around.....it's never boring, that's for sure! Take care my friend!

Oh. I never thought you have such kind of weather that's so intense. Keep safe as that season is coming.
In our country, we used to have around 20 typhoons (hurricanes) per year. But of course, not all of them visits one place. We may have typhoon this month, another coming but it will pass to another place. At times, one or two typhoons will pass in one place. If it will not take the path of our region, there will be monsoon rains. It can be a week of continuous rain causing floods. Flood control is pretty bad here. Even high tide will cause flood in some villages. Earthquakes are also common here. We had a strong one few months ago.

Sounds like our weather an your's has similarities except your's is warmer! We've had some interesting tides here as well that have flooded areas. We are high enough and far away enough that the tide doesn't affect us. It's the river that poses most of our flooding issues, but again, our home is high enough, it doesn't reach, but I work in town where it is an issue. We will have to see what the coming months bring. In the meantime, I hope the typhoons pass you guys by, and if they don't, please be safe!
