record rain?

From what I hear on the news, we are headed for a record breaking amount of rain in 24 hours. The record amount is 5.02 inches in 24 hours in 2003. Many areas around the Seattle area are experiencing significant flooding. Here are a few pictures of areas around town that have been flooded. I keep checking our basement--luckily we are sort of up on a hill, so less likely to get that kind of flooding.
