Renton Public Library - Wikipedia

@Tim_Eagon whether we still have a library this weekend

Generosity and joy exist in D&D (even in Barovia). Your Artificer has the power to amplify those feelings (while also being an effective combatant, but there are many places that talk about optimizing in those ways). There are 1,000 times a thousand stories available at any table and any session […]

Frustrating that NOAA and USGS are forecasting two feet difference in flood level.

One has a record at 17.5' and the other a mere 15.5'.

I'm going to use monster names in foreign languages regularly.

I work at @Factal
We provide our baseline service of real-time safety & security news for free to humanitarian aid and disaster relief NGOs -- over 300 of them.

In a world of platform diversification and politicization of news, generative misinformation and shrinking budgets we're helping […]

11 Washington rivers made the FEMA charts today.

@wesburdine.bsky.social twelve states dominated by domestic clubs is wonderful

Positive news, now the river is only going to crest at top 5, but still a major flood.
Photos from downtown show the threat to the over-river library building and the lowlands out towards Boeing.

@mattdoyle.bsky.social no love for Toye? I may have missed him.
Seems like a solid backup.

An Aslan update
Today he was extremely active. Standing up so much it was probably painful or frustrating because he barked and whined a lot.
At one point I thought he was uncomfortable so I put him on his big ole fluffy bed. He helped, even. But after a few minutes he rose up fully and walked […]

And now the update is for the Cedar River to be at 17 feet, the second highest it's been.

At "16 - the Cedar River will cause major flooding in Renton, especially at the Renton Airport. Flooding will occur all along the river including headwaters, tributaries, and other streams within and near […]

@ai6yr while the heavy rains are annoying, our real danger is the snow melt as the temps raised enough to dump those heavy rains on melting snow.

My river is cresting on Thursday for example. Today is my last day of heavy rain

New forecast is in moderate flooding at 5th highest river level.
Crest at 15+ feet which is big enough to directly impact the airport.
We're still only a flood watch since it's days away.
Several other rivers in the area are on warnings

@voght.org also the messaging is a bit broken because people worried about gutters are very wrong.

It's mountain runoff, not urban rain, that's the very big problem

@adam are you in Mississippi today?

@mattdoyle.bsky.social DP money for a defensive winger?

They could have signed Paulie Rothrock

Official river height forecast for the Cedar River in Renton. It shows rapid rise Thursday with a peak of 14.14 feet midday Friday.

My river is now centering in the flood stage

The FEMA sitrep

"A strong Atmospheric River is forecast to affect the Pacific Northwest over the next few days. Impacts to western Washington and Northwestern Oregon include heavy rain with 6-10” forecast in the Olympics and Cascades and isolated, localized totals of 12” possible. Small rivers […]

The latest forecast for the Cedar River in downtown Renton is for it to crest as a minor flood on Thursday at 13.31 feet.

That would be the 9th highest in recorded past and impact the library, airport, Boeing manufacturing, The Landing and several parks.

https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/rntw1 […]

My local river is now centerline forecast for 12.9'
Getting close to top 10 for us and now into the 10% chance of hitting the airport

I got so into character that even my above board talk turned into the micromachine chatter that Xabal does in character.

There are two approaches to fighting bandits in fantasy TTRPGs
In one the bandits are always the same power even as the characters gain power.
In the other the bandits are always the same level of problem.

I find one of these much more fun than the other.

@DiceMonkey should we have gotten shipping notifications for Song of the River Prince?

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social Ghost, WordPress, Buttondown are there for everyone (and all integrate with modern social media)

@ingalls local river's forecast is for about the 15th highest level in known times at 12.5' or so

At 14' our local airport (part of the Boeing manufacturing plant) is impacted.
