The winds just hit

[fenchurch]

Okay, you know... that's just a little freaky.

They've been saying all morning that the storm was going to hit around 2:00 today. Well, as I mentioned earlier, it's been a little bit blustery around here most of the day... but I was up in the kitchen a few minutes ago when it HIT. And I mean, really hit. The wind pretty much slammed into the side of the house... and I looked at the clock. 2:00pm on the nose.

Wow. It's now 4:30 here and still nothing, but I'm a bit spooked by your sudden slam experience. The wind was supposed to be SE and then swing later in the afternoon to SW, so I'm not sure if it's still coming or did it somehow miss us. Sure hope it doesn't appear after dark as it's a bit scary when you've got trees near your house. After the storms of last winter and all the trees coming down on houses, I think we all see trees differently. Is it still windy where you are?

According to the coverage out at the KOMO website (http://www.komotv.com/news/10605932.html) the storm is not behaving quite like expected... instead of heading up over the southern edge of Vancouver Island, it is heading mostly over the Olympic Peninsula. So you guys may escape the bulk of it. It's definitely still windy here, though so far we haven't lost power (yay!).

BTW, did I know you live in Vancouver? I'm thinking I must not have, since I didn't have you on my Northwest filter (which is mostly there for times like this, when I want to quickly check my "local" friendslist to make sure everyone is okay).

I used to live in Vancouver, but you probably didn't know as I'm pretty guarded about personal details online. Waving south at you;-) Yeah, weather reports here say the wind warnings are down so it seems to have petered out. A great big yay to that.
