our turn for the fine weather in the Northwest . Been raining for 7 days now and 7 more to go . 90 MPH wind tonight . Will be along night listening to the trees cracking and falling . Time to tune up the chainsaw and exercise the generator . Wish us best folks , lots of big trees around the house and shop .
 
Yeah, Take care, You are supposed to get the worst of it. It was blowing around the Seattle area this morning, but other than a few branches, nothing too bad.
 
What? It's been raining??? I hadn't even noticed.

Well, I mean... there were those three times my car almost got blown off of the freeway that's covered in standing water... but other than those times, I really hadn't noticed. ;)

You know it's stormy when the roads are covered in all those pretty green fir branches. :D
 
we survived this round . Heard a few trees crack and fall but nothing hit us thank goodness . Shop is a little flooded but it has been worse . wind started around 9:00 and slowed down around 1:00 , hit 95 mph on the coast . we are 18 miles in land from the coast but close to the colombia river and the wind just rushes up through the corridor .
 
Take care, I undersand we have a couple more storms lining up off coast waiting for their chance to make our day. You must live near a river to get flooded.
 
sucked out 30 gals. of the shop today . No river old rifleman , just a poor shop build . The guy we bought this place from poured a big ole slab , then poured syrafoam form walls on top of the slab with no sealant between the floor and walls . In the long and heavy rains the ground below my french drain gets saturated and leaks underneath the walls . He also built it against a hillside he had cut out . Of course if I knew this before I finished it I could have done something different for drainage .
