The Falls are Full!!

Lots of rain in the last two days mean lots of water in the rivers, and Snoqualmie Falls roaring like a lion. This was taken today, after the river crested... The mist at the Falls is so thick that it's like being in a rain storm, and the voice of the Falls is loud and thunderous. Depending on where you get your info, we had somewhere between 4 3/4" and 6 3/4" of rain yesterday, and about 2 1/2" the day before. Fortunately, today it is dry, which helps everyone living near the river or downstream.
...and the bend of the river near my house, which usually this time of year we can almost walk across on the rocks, is full nearly to the roadway. It's at least 4' higher than normal, but on the way down.
