Time to revive this thread.
As of last night, the rain was of epic proportions. Kept me awake most of the night despite having earplugs! Flooding on many rivers but none near me, thankfully.
Then the wind picked up, but it never reached a point where I lost power. Looked like gusts to the mid-40's where it results in outtages. At least in my area.
We're in the grip of a series of storms, and while there is a calm right now the rain is expected to pick up again through Sat/Sun. Hopefully I can get a good night's sleep tonight as last night was awful!
There isn't too much of a snow pack in the Cascades near me which might result in flooding in my area, so for now we're OK. Other areas in the Pac NW are not so lucky.
I hate this time of year. And the forecast is for the El Nino conditions to be similar to the one in '06 where a huge windstorm wiped out the power to some for 3 weeks! I myself was without power for 6 days as well as the brewery, and that was dire enough. Some folks went far longer!
How was your weather today?
Cheers,
RR
