Wow. Steer clear if you're heading south from Seattle or Tacoma. (0802)

Unfortunately, you can't steer clear. Other than I5, there are only two 2-lane roads from Tacoma to Olympia. You could go over the mountains if you are headed east.

This is pretty bad. There will likely be multiple fatalities. Praying for them all. Just down I5 from my office.

Report I just heard LIVE on the ‘net said it had just reached a top speed of 81 mph immediately preceding the derailment.
