The "high wind watch" is now a "high wind WARNING," and tomorrow's WeatherMenu entry reads:
Damaging Wind, High 13
DAMAGING WIND yikes. 40mph sustained, 60mph gusts unless you're up into the Cascade foothlls, in which case sustained 50, gusts 75mph.

Here where we are, the winds are already picking up a lot. I'm glad our house is in a sheltered nook. Hopefully nothing will fall down on us!

ETA 12:15: I have never seen it rain this hard here. Ever. And oh look, a power hit! First of the night. Here's hoping we're still up in the morning!

I've got a wedding to go to in the north end. Remember, the Abbey is just a few blocks from [livejournal.com profile] dianala's old house. I'm supposed to change into the outfit in the picture at [livejournal.com profile] mamishka's, and the 520 bridge will almost certainly be closed. File this under D for damnation.

Thanks. We'll see how things look tomorrow.

Good: I live taller than any trees or anything nearby.

Bad: The wind tunnel that is 85th should make for some amusing noises outside. :)

If I decide to try to go, say, grocery shopping, it will be...exciting walking at street level. :)

Oddly enough, up here (where the trees fall down constantly due to the wind) it's not blowing at all.

Yet.

Raining like a sumbitch, but that's been going on all day.

Our lights just flickered. HOORAY!

Now I can hear the rain coming down on the skylight... it's loud enough that I suspect the power will be going out soon...

*shock*

Our power didn't go out last night.

Not holding my breath about today, however.

Never get any wind right around my place: the hills and trees all block it. Will probably have a lot of branches to pick up after it's all over, though.

Holy crap, it's blowing and banging and pouring over here in Bellevue. I've got the candles and the flashlights out (OK, wouldn't need them at 9AM, but still, the drama of it is fun).
