I believe I-5 has several closures already from last week

due to heavy rainfalls and mud slides.

Dont remember which sections, but my first reaction when seeing the news on TV, was: Oh, here we go again ... it should have been "they" in reality.

We had thoughts in the past for moving to Seattle because of the proximity to Vancouver, as well as the sailing activities, but after seeing I-5 got washed out in several sections the following year, we decided that wasn't too good an idea - at least for us. :)
