Personally I can't remember the last time I saw one of these warnings and it actually came as predicted. But I did notice the city had the snow closure signs out on First Hill.

The little windstorm that blew thru Tues. night knocked our power out overnight - I was a little late for work on Wed. I don't mind having to commute in the rain, etc. but when it effects my being able to wake up on time, that's when I get pissed.
Enough of this crap already!!!:mumble:

We had a little bit of wind here, and one already crroked tree went most of the way over. The power slightly flickered a couple of times but not much else.

What a let down. My power didnt even go off once.

I think its all a big media frenzy anyways. THose live reports are fake. The guy is jiggling the vido cable so it looks like the feed is cutting out, and they have a huge box fan to blow the reporter like a wind storm might do. But hey, at least the seahawks werent first topic on the news......

It made a mess up here, crap is all over, carbage cans (big concrete ones have you) signs, fences knocked over, limbs all over, but either the PSE has done some good work keeping the lines free of problem areas or we just got lucky, didn't lose power. Lost cable off and on a few times, power flickered, heard a few transformers blow (still hearing them from time to time) but thats it. Parents are without power in Woodinville...

i hope the high winds knock out power here, so i dont have to work, that would be most desirable. the wind is probably a bit less than seattle, but ive seen a few tree branches in the street and similar stuff.

Yeah, I guess on the bright side the forecast for next week looks good (no rain!):thumb: Hope they're right...

I'm glad I got to sneak in a ride yesterday morning while it was kind of nice out

Likewise - I even managed to hit a jump that I've been pondering for the last month. Double-bonus!:D

*edit*
Wow, looks like it's going to be busy season for roofers. I just went a few blocks to the local store and there were shingles EVERYWHERE!:eek:
