***Remember, we are not professionals at predicting possible damage or flooding of property along Beach Drive (or anywhere). We’re just sharing this information to let you know that it’s good to be prepared and to possibly let you neighbors know too. Check on storm drains and make sure your pumps are working (consider buying or renting one). By the time flooding hits – it’s probably too late to rent one.
Stay safe and GO SEAHAWKS!!
