The Skagit River that runs by my house is on the rise! :(

This just came in from NOAA:

\tthe Skagit River will cause severe near record flooding from Sedro Woolley downstream through Mount Vernon to the mouth. Deep and swift flood waters will inundate and possibly damage many roads...farmlands and residential areas. Levees may be damaged. Major sandbagging will be needed to protect Mount Vernon. Flood areas will also include headwaters...tributaries...and other streams in the Skagit basin. This level for this location corresponds to a Phase 3 flood in the Skagit County flood system.

The river level right now is 23.12 feet and rising. :( My house elevation is 23.97. Stage 2 flooding is at 28 feet and Major Flooding is at 30 feet. The river dikes are less than a mile from my house. :( I think it is high time that I become Very Concerned! :(
