Rain and wind
December 19th, 2007
Today it’s raining. Yesterday it was raining. Tomorrow it’s supposed to keep raining. I think we are going to be in for some more nasty flooding. It’s also very windy.
A barge, the Shauna K, was being towed by the tug Alyssa Ann, operated by Olympic Tug and Barge, when strong winds broke one of its tow lines and blew it into the breakwall of Elliott Bay Marina, grounding it upon the rocks. The Shauna K was transporting 904 metric tons of a heavy bunker fuel. Fortunately, the Shauna K was a double-hulled barge, and there have been no indications that there were any leaks.

Glad to hear there were no leaks, could have been awful. Has there been anymore flooding?

I’m going to take a look today at local conditions. The water’s rather high in all the local rivers, but I don’t know if there has been the overwhelming flooding of a couple of weeks ago.
