As some of you may know, Washington got slammed with flooding earlier this month and now WSDOT (Washington State Department of Transportation) (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov) has to clean all those highways up. They even had to close I-5 for 20 miles! For more info, see:

Wow! I couldn't imagine such an important freeway like Interstate 5 being closed for such a long distance!
