I remember eventually being able to venture out again and seeing the devastation of pretty much the entire Lewis County area as I drove the backroads between Olympia and Centralia looking for a way for My wife to get home.

The worst damage I saw was at my Aunt and Uncle's house, which was ruined. Another house on their street had come off its foundation and floated all the way across a field before coming to rest on a bunch of downed trunks. They were fishing dead cows out of trees for days.
