West Seattle Weather Watch: Rain + trees + roads = trouble

Via Twitter, Dartanyon sent that photo of a tree down across 21st SW, north of Myrtle, not far from Sanislo Elementary, within the past hour. We don’t have updated information yet on whether that tree is still blocking the road – we’ll be heading out to check – but wanted to show it as a general reminder that (a) with this heavy rain, you may run into sudden trouble, and (b) if you do, please share the news, since a localized problem likely won’t make it to the level of, say, an SDOT alert. Here’s how to reach us. P.S. While the latest forecast still suggests it’ll get windier later, that’s been downgraded a bit – the highest predicted wind speed is now 25 mph.

    Apparently the trees don’t put much clout behind the “No Dumping Whatever” (sic) signs either.

    Lots of flooding in low areas of streets and people not thinking as they are SPEEDING. Heavy rain equals slow down please.

    At the ferry dock, right in front of the bus stop there’s a HUGE puddle. Be careful – I didn’t see it until I was in it and hydroplaning.
