Actual picture of me telling people not to set the state on fire over Labor Day while it’s raining because I know they’ll think the rain made it all better but our trees are still really super dry inside

Ford Raptor can't drag BYD Leopard even though it uses aired-down all-terrain tires for extra grip, while BYD only uses ordinary tires. Now you know why Ford's CEO conceded Ford is 25 years behind BYD, and why they're desperate to keep Chinese EVs out of the US.

A potent atmospheric river event will cause periods of heavy rain Tuesday through Saturday, leading to the potential for river flooding as well as flooding of urban areas and small streams. Now is the time to prepare! Visit weather.gov/safety/flood for more info.
Flood potential Thursday December 18 through Saturday December 20, 2025. A map on the left shows the area of a Flood Watch for all of northwest Oregon and southwest Washington. Text on the right states: WHAT: Flooding caused by excessive rainfall falling onto already saturated soil and already elevated river levels. A moderate to strong atmospheric river event will bring periods of widespread heavy rain Tuesday through Saturday. Heaviest rainfall is expected on Thursday. WHERE: All locations in NW Oregon and SW Washington IMPACTS: Flooding along rivers and creeks that drain from the Coast Range, Willapa Hills, and Cascades. Flooding in poor drainage, urban, and flood-prone areas. Landslides over recently burned areas. PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS: Do you live in an area historically impacted by flooding? Have an action plan to protect your property. Do not drive into flooded areas. Find a different route. Visit the website weather.gov/safety/flood for more preparedness information.

The rain is shifting south across NW Oregon today, then will shift back north across SW Washington tonight. Rain continues Wed. Rivers & streams are high, and areas with poor drainage are struggling to keep up with the added rain. Stay safe by avoiding flooded roads and areas.
A National Weather Service (NOAA) graphic titled "Stay clear of flooded roads: Most flood deaths occur to people while driving." The image contains essential flood safety tips and a central illustration showing the danger of driving through floodwaters under the warning "WHEN FLOODED TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN." Flood Safety Tips include: Do not drive around barricades. Do not attempt to judge water depth and drive through. Strong currents and deadly debris can be hidden in calm-looking water. 12"-24" of moving water can sweep your car off the road. The illustration demonstrates the hazards of fast-moving water: 6 inches (reaching above an adult man's knees) can knock over and carry away an adult. 12 inches (reaching halfway up the tires of a blue sedan) can carry away a small car. 18-24 inches (reaching the chassis of a black SUV/truck) can carry away most large SUVs, vans, and trucks.

You drive a car, not a boat, So when you hit the water you will not float. If you see a Road Closed sign, don’t go around, It’s there to keep you safe and on solid ground. Every year, lives are lost, Remember, standing water should not be crossed. 📸Trooper Shea in @wspd5pio

The start of Dec is bringing another round of Sneaker Waves. This time it's due to high energy 8-10 ft seas combined with King Tides. Be sure to practice beach safety if headed out this week. For current forecasts visit weather.gov/portland #ORwx #WAwx
Picture of the tides pushing onto rocks saying "Sneaker Wave Threat December 1st through the 4th. King Tides and long period swells increase risk for sneaker waves. Stay safe by: Staying farther back that you think is necessary. Never turn your back to the ocean. Stay off of logs and rocks as they can be dislodged"
