Carnation Island rises again!

Imperium res publica of Carnation Insula

Or to put it in the vernacular; the sovereign isle of Carnation will rise again!
It looks as if we are going to be experiencing record flooding and are probably going to become an island again

The Tolt River is experiencing significant flooding. The Tolt River has overtopped Hwy 203 (Tolt Avenue) closing the road southbound at NE 40th Street. Cars are prohibited from driving through the road closed barriers. The State Department of Transportation is also posting the closure on Hwy 203 at Fall City.

The Riverview School District has implemented early release of its students to insure their safety.

The Snoqualmie River is also experiencing significant flooding that could potentially overtop Hwy 203 both north and south of town leaving Carnation isolated for a period of time. Residents should be prepared for this possibility during the next 24 to 48 hours.

Flood information and road closure information is available at www.rpin.org.
