Flooding around Olympia: 12-04-2007
SR 12: between the towns of Malone and Porter

This didn't stop some local from trying to drive through.
When we arrived, we saw the muddy and broken car being towed away.

The tracks are closed too. I hope...

Looking up the body of the slide from the debris area.

There is water (~100 gal/min) pouring out of the soil/rock contact.

Looking down from the top of the slide (head scarp). See the road?

The Chehalis River is at a 100 year flood stage.
This is the disaster that has closed I-5.
