The floods in our area are the big news. High temperatures of near 70 degrees and winds over 70 mph hit the town of Leavenworth and the surrounding area. The rain that fell preceding this had soaked the soil and the wind blew down trees all over the place. The trees snapped power lines and people here lost power from 4 p.m. last Wednesday until Saturday morning. Mud and rockslides continue to keep the Tumwater Canyon and Stevens Pass closed. I had decided to shoot video at a couple different areas near Leavenworth, the boat takeout, lower Icicle River and the Tumwater Dam. I didn’t know the power had gone out and our cell phones wouldn’t work. My wife couldn’t track me down and was worried. When she found out what I had been doing she was irate. She thought a tree had fallen on me or I was stuck in a landslide. Check out the video on the FishingMagician.com Facebook page, and another one I did on the boat launches in Wenatchee.
