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.

Yeah, I hear ya. That old freight train roaring thru the trees feels like it's coming to get me. Branches are bouncing off the roof and skylights and the lights are flickering. A good storm can be as invigorating as a run down Chuckanut Drive, but...I hate the WIND! Make it stop. Good luck, hope your trees stay upright.

They're calling for over a foot of snow here today in central Ontario. Buffalo might get completely buried. Could also reek havoc in Detroit this weekend for Superbowl. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Power just came back on. My 12 year old daughter got so scared she decided to sleep downstairs (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) . I wonder how much cleanup there will be.

The power just came back on here. I expect it'll go out again soon. The wind going through the big trees does sound like a freight train. It's pretty damn scary with all these big trees around, swaying back and forth like crazy. We're just starting to get the brunt of the wind-storm. The winds will get worse over the next 5 hours until they start to die down. With the adrenaline I'm putting out, I won't need any coffee today!

100'+ cedars firs and pines, 40' from your house does not make for restful night. they're bending but not breaking at this point.

Good luck guys, I live on a bluff with nothin but air between me and Japan....we've had winds up to 107 in the 25 years since we moved here and so far only lost shingles and gutters, deck furnature and a chimney cover. None of the big trees near here has fallen on MY house but the neighbor next door got clipped by a 120' pine in '82/

Yeah, I'm seriously sick of this weather. Didn't help that at 1am on a hunch I decided to check the garage for flooding as I've just removed all of the tar from the floor pans, and have a bunch of tools laying around the car on the ground. Checked things out just in time- water was about 1 inch away from reaching the middle of the garage where all the tools were piled. Spent the next half hour getting everything in there off the ground.
Figures I'd be doing rust repairs during a time when the garage would flood ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Speaking of, any fellow Seattle-ites selling a Mig welder cheap? (Or want to rent one out?) I've been looking for one to come up on Craig's list for a while, but people seem to want to get what they originally paid for 'em.

Trying to think of things I could offer in trade for letting me borrow one...um... home computer support? (I do that for a living).... guitar lessons? (tried doing that for a living)... tar removal on floor pans? (I'd hate to have to do that for a living) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

After all the hype I thought the wind would be worse than it was. Not complaining I just expected some really bad shit. We are NW of Olympia on Puget Sound and the bay looked like surf on the ocean. Lots of docks and wood and a couple of boats floated by but no damage on the home front.

Sounds like the winds are over and we might even see the sun on Sunday.

My dad called tonight from back at home out on the southwest coast and said we had three trees fall over on our property of about 7 acres and the power was off from 7 this morning til 6:30 tonight. He said in town there wasn't any power and it typically floods with power, but since they couldn't run the pumps it was really bad today with about 3 ft of water pretty much anywhere remotely low.

But I'm now on the east side where it didn't rain much. It was just really windy all day long.

I drove by Alki Beach on the way to the office Saturday morning and had waves breaking over the the car. Good thing it was raining nice and hard to wash the saltwater off the BMW.

We lost power for a couple of hours. Lots of tree branches in the roads.

Just another Seattle winter ...
