Kitsap County is Recovering from Floods

Kitsap County residents had a rough day yesterday. However, today is much better for most of the people in our area. However, there are many homes that flooded, some badly. Please keep these people in your thoughts and prayers.

Some roads in the county are still closed. Many of the closed roads were shut down due to mudslides. Some are still closed because of water across the roadway.

Click here to see an interactive map provided by Google which shows road closures. It is the best site currently available, although it does need to be updated. Just leave plenty of time to get wherever you need to go, and be patient.

Also, schools are scheduled to reopen tomorrow, Wednesday, on a normal schedule. However, to be safe, please check your school district website to be certain.

Be safe!

Flood Update (3:31 pm)

The Annapolis (Port Orchard) to Bremerton foot ferry is closed.
Port Townsend ferries are shut down completely.
The Kingston to Edmonds ferry run is down to only one boat, so plan for a very long wait, probably upwards of two hours.
The Highway through Gorst is still closed. The Washington State patrol said that the best way to get to Port Orchard from Bremerton is to wait until after high tide. No, I'm not kidding. That's actually what they said.
Unfortunately, high tide was shortly before noon.
The coast guard just went past a beach here in East Bremerton. Wonder where they are going and what they are doing?
