“Alas, poor Yorick, etc”

We’re experiencing catastrophic flooding it WA State right now, and getting federal aid at this point is seeming dicey. Several entire towns had to be evacuated, and it’s not clear if or when they’ll get to go home. If you have a little extra, Whatcom County is one of the hardest hit
