Latest reports:
10:25 a.m. The King County Department of Transportation reports hundreds of downed trees have closed roads in communities throughout the county. At this time, an estimated 35 roads maintained by the county have been closed. Every available maintenance employee has been dispatched, armed with chainsaws in an effort to clear trees and get roads reopened. Traffic crews are also responding to malfunctioning signals that were damaged by the high winds. All available road maintenance crews will likely work through the weekend to clear roads. In some cases, tree removal will need to wait until power crews can remove power lines that have also fallen.

9:52 a.m. A viewer sent us this email: "King County Juvenile Court is flooded. Last night at about 4:45 there were several employees stuck in the building. Water was up to the front door and ready to poor in. The stairs turned into a water fall and cars in the parking lot were flooded. Those of use that got out waded through about 2 feet of water full of muck and debris. Today, the court is closed and no employees are to report."
