from the Kiro website:

Today: Rain and windy later this afternoon. Highs in the mid 40s to lower 50s. East wind 10 to 15 mph becoming south and increasing to 30 to 40 mph late this afternoon.
Tonight: Rain. Very windy. Lows in the upper 30s to mid 40s. South wind 35 to 45 mph with gusts to 65 mph by late evening and overnight.

gusts to 65...

 

oh I am soooooooooooooooooo scared,

It is already raining here and the wind is starting to blow and I think that there is a little to much hype about all of this and after all this IS Washington aren't we all used to this by now anyways?

 

lol no were not used to the rain. About 5 of us at the office decided we werent going to each lunch today because we didnt want to go out in the rain :-)

 

Last time I was part of discussions like this was around the beginning of November... I bought some fire logs just incase and the generator is gassed up as well...

 

Here we go again, flooded streets, the freeway doing 15mph, grocery stores crammed full and out of everything, sigh....

 

Expecting 75-90mph gusts along the coast. I don't think they're screwing around with it this time 8]

 

well the blowing rain sideways has started, the storm earlier this week blew a tile off of the new roof and it landed on the top of one of our Tc's and dented the side pillar just behind the dorr really badly I was NOT a happy camper.

BUt at any rate I like a good storm I jsut hate the repercusions from them.... i.e. power outages, grandma won't be able to watch her CSI and will be glaring at everyone.

 

we always sleep in the living room during wind storms in case one of the 100' trees on our property falls...

 

They are saying it may be worse than the inaugaration storm of 93.

They also may close 520 at 11pm tonight

 

WOW...The Inaugeral Day Storm ROCKED!!!

Jenna...where are you? Weather chaos!!!

 

good stuff.... i get to move trucks tonite.... i'm gonna get wet....

 

I know! You're tellin me! There is a 10% chance of rain tomorrow, and only a high of 67

Oh..er....I...uhh

Sorry, wrong region, thats San Clemente weather

 

SURFS UP on Lake Washington??!!??!!

 

can ya dig it

 

I can only imagine that it is since this morning it was rockin and a rollin.

Hey Steve please be safe my friend and I can totaly understand the living room my frind I forgot aboutthe tree thing.

keep the family safe and the dog to, at least if you loose power she will keep you warm and as most pits will keep the gas going as well.

 

Well power went out in Port Orchard and its really windy

ITS COMING! ARMAGEDDON

 

we have water falls coming off of the roof of the dealership

 

Since we are use to power outtages, my child is in the shower right now and I will be soon. The wind is blowing about 20mph with heavy gusts. We have no large limbs down yet, but expect some soon.

Oil lamps are on the table and the water filled milk jugs are in the freezer.

I also have a case of coors light and a brand new bottle of anjo rum just screaming for me to open. There is nothing better than a storm and a nice glass of booze to give me that warm fuzzy..

Ya know something else that's cool about power outtages?

It's how quiet it really is with everything off and how difficult it is to sleep in complete silence... Well, that and the fact that the dog snores like a chainsaw bogging threw a wet piece of oak.

Everyone enjoy the evening with your loved ones.. It's like camping... playing board games, making smores over a oil lamp and snuggling up with the comforter off the bed.

 

well everyone it looks like it is time to hunker down break out the warm sweaters adn amke sure that you have plenty of batteries and water on hand. This one is looking kind of serious. I jsut got a call from home and was told that wind gust could reach up to 100 miles an hour and that this could be the worst strom of the century. So keep warm and safe everyone and be very careful.

 

kinda of early in the century for them to be making that call isn't it

regardless.... good idea'rs... batteries and beer
