sitting here the wind is gusting about 50 -60mph and rain comming down sideways. now i know y'all down in the south get tornado and hurricanes, but ya see we have these 100' -150' trees growing around our houses. the ground is saturated and these trees are prime for falling over (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) . gonna go get my generator ready.

The power was out for 7 hours here in Moclips...good thing I got a generator a while back. This was a fantastic storm. Hard to believe the wind can blow that hard for that long (about 24 hours). The beach has been scraped almost clean. Huge pieces of driftwood went up the beach access road into the street. It was blast. But..a lot of water fowl die in these storms from starvation. They quickly get too weak to feed themselves. Been saving a few western greebs when I can.
Had to do a little patching on the roof, but got off pretty easy this time. In Seattle we never had a tree come down in our yard in 27 years. There is strength in numbers. Take out all the trees except one or two and they will eventually fall in a wind storm. I miss having trees in the yard, but the ocean nearby makes up for it. John www.ghiaspecialties.com |
