I have been in touch with Dave over the weekend. Lisa and him are unable stay at home due to flooding in the house. I am sharing the photos and information Dave passed to me on what they are going through.
Here is a quote from one of the emails.
"We got hit by another landslide, but fortunately it was on the east side of the house and didn’t effect the shop at all so very thankful for that. We had flooding in the house from the rain and the slide is right up against the house but no mud actually came in (mud is covering two windows that didn’t blow through). We aren’t staying at the house for a while. We cleared all the wet stuff out of the basement and cut the lower parts of the drywall and now have fans and dehumidifiers going to dry things out. The yard is a disaster with 50+ dump truck loads of material coming down the mountain. There’s another rain storm forecasted for next week but hopefully it won’t be too bad. I’m hoping to start pulling vehicles and trailers out of the slide next weekend to start the huge cleanup project.
Going to get back to working some in the shop this week as the bills don’t stop!!"
Fortunately Dave can still get to work unlike many in the area. But he is unable to ship or received any packages at present as the road to Suma is closed and may be so for some time.
See the links for more information on what happened and is still ongoing.

There is more rain in the forecast for the next two weeks. Let's all pray they don't get hit with anymore heavy storms.
And please take time to share this information on other locations to widen the circle of information to all of Dave and Lisa's friends.
