This second video has another reporter standing behind the flood wall, with drone views going above the wall showing the size of the 2021 flood.

If you go back to my previous post (linked below), and see the picture taken from the boat launch, you can picture the incredible amount of water that this river is carrying.

CW, if you are bothered by talk of politics, you can keep the video muted.

So, have the walls worked? Yes! They were put to test in 2021, when the Skagit River rose to 35 feet.

This first video shows the flood wall being assembled, and functioning. The reporter is standing on the other side of the wall, and the wall is holding back the water. I do believe these technologies will prove useful for #ClimateAdaptation to increased #FloodRisks
