Who has power or antennas down? 52mph gust just now here on the Tacoma waterfront. City power is out but the base is on generator. |

Nothing serious yet but it only just started to get windy up here in SE Bellevue. |

Power's back but some issue with the switching stuff has kept the generator going. Lots of wires down calls. TFD dispatcher got tongue tied and toned out a "ires warking" call. |

Tacoma put out a single vehicle rollover EB 16 @ Pearl. Troopers chatting say it was possibly due to sidewinds. ETA- "high profile lifted Land Rover" |

Per the anemometer, we just got hit with a 69.3mph gust. There used to be a bunch of traffic cones in the parking lot. Nowhere to be seen now. Ditto for the trash can that had 2 cinder blocks in the bottom. |

Apparently that big gust turned one of the Port of Tacoma cranes 45 degrees sideways, causing the 2.5 ton concrete tiedown to put a hole in the hull of a container ship. A 90+ ton crane. ouch. |

Was flying back from San Antonio last night. First time I've experienced a "go-around" in a commercial jet. Roughest approach and landing I've had in a long time. The Alaska pilots did a great job. No pilot want to call a "go-around", but they did it anyway rather than just going for it. |

Swell. So far, no power fluctuations. Pleanty of branches down in the neighborhood, though. Just a matter of time. |

Actually, I just looked at the anemometer display and 7 minutes ago it recorded a 31.1 mph gust (my office is in the bowels of the complex). |

The wind is picking up again. Hopefully the tree that came down and took out the power last night for 6 hrs.. was the only 'weak' one. Sure is howling up here on the hill in Maltby. Might go out with the handheld anemometer :roll: |

Projected 6+ feet of snow at my fire station over the next 3 days with 18-25" coming within the next 12 hours. Should be awesome! |
