Weather Update

A report from a Shorehill resident as of the evening of January 7: All of the usual flooding suspects were within their banks. Although it was raining pretty good, things seemed to be holding up well. This area can stand quite a lot of rain, and, after last year's events, Mason County has upgraded culvert sizes and cleaned out clogged areas. It also appears that the county is being cautious during the current storm by surveying and cleaning where necessary.

One question is whether the section of North Shore Road at about milepost 11 closed by last year's deluge will hold up. The bank is precariously unstable.
