luvteaching Posted November 15, 2021 #76 Share Posted November 15, 2021 We're getting hit in the Pacific Northwest but the sun is just starting to come out. We have a high wind warning until 7:00 PM and flood warnings for the next few days. In Mount Vernon they have erected the flood wall and the Skagit is expected to crest at 37.5 feet. The pictures on I-5 are just north of us and there have been two landslides in about the same area today. In Skagit and Whatcom counties there are lots of road closures due to flooding. We have Search and Rescue out from the Navy Base on Whidbey Island to do rescues up near Concrete and Marblemount. I'm so glad to just hang out at home!

It’s actually tomorrow but my husband and I are in different countries, at the moment, so we will celebrate when I get home. They stopped taking our glass for recycling as well. The non-rule-followers ruined it for the rest of us. Now we drive it to the recycling site periodically. Wegmans recycles wine corks so I collect those also. For the planet. 🙃 I wish you both a very HAPPY ANNAIVERSARY. Jim 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted November 15, 2021 #81 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) A whole town in the BC interior is being evacuated because of the flooding. A lot of people here in Victoria have water in their basements. We seem to be okay at the moment, on a hill. Hope we don't just go sliding down it!

Rare *Miss G* Posted November 15, 2021 #82 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Today was a successful day with many accomplishments achieved! The big one was to get mine and my Dad’s passports. Dad’s expired last December but they allowed him to do the simple renewal due to Covid extensions. I had to do the full application because my vaccine card is in my married name but my current passport is in my former name. I thought it best for both to match. Took me a while to get us an appointment so we didn’t have to send important documents through the mail. I also wanted to make sure I could pick it up as the last time I paid extra for them to mail it to me in Canada, so guess where they sent it? Virginia. 🤪 Luckily my husband wasn’t traveling that week so he was able to locate it on the front porch and then courier it back to me in Canada just in time to make my flight. It’s actually a fluke he was even at home because his job requires him to be anywhere in the country. Anywho… not falling for that one again. 😜 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USN59-79 Posted November 16, 2021 #86 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Short update. Saw a urologist today and we decided to schedule a removal of the stone this Friday. It is located in the ureter between the kidney and bladder and appears to be stuck. Looks like a 20 minute procedure using a stent. When we got to the hospital it was windy and pouring down rain. An hour later when we came out the skies were blue, wind calm and sun shining. I hope that is a sign. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it wildfires? I might be thinking of something else. Yes, just a few months ago: The entire City of Merritt has been placed on an evacuation alert due to the threat from area wildfires. The July Mountain and Brookmere fires to the south and the Lytton Creek fire to the west continue to grow, prompting the evacuation alert for the city of about 7,500 people about 90 kilometres south of Kamloops.Aug 15, 2021 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave me enough oxycontin for 48 hours on Friday, but it wasn't very effective. I found that over the counter naproxen sodium seems to work better w/o the dangerous side effects.
