There's lots of water coming down off Capitol Hill and running through Eastlake's streets this morning, but it's been worse. A plugged storm drain at Eastlake and Hamlin had resulted in a big puddle (see photo).
The Seattle Department of Transportation had e-mailed a few days ago asked residents to clean plugged drains if they noticed them so, if you're so inclined, scrape some leaves out of the way to help get the water off the streets.
Lots of leaves in the streets after the storm but I didn't see any other damage during my quick tour. Anyone else notice anything?

Another big thunderclap just exploded over Eastlake. And that comes after last night's booming and pounding by thunder, rain and hail.
Any weather stories to tell? Storm drains backed up? Did your lights go out or flicker? Post your comments here and tell us about how the storm appeared from where you lived.
