Oregon/Washington/B.C. - LOOK WHAT'S COMING!!!!

Stay safe all of you coastal dwellers....

Hope everyone's safe and sound inside. I need to call my family and see how they're doing. Sometimes I wonder if DH and I have lost our minds - we're moving back to the Puget Sound in March...willingly!

Standing by with candles and oil lamps, fresh batteries in flashlight, cats are staying in tonight. A friend back home once claimed he had a kerosene television for emergencies, but I never saw it. Hunker down everybody!

According to Yahoo, currently SE at 15 MPH. It's raining, but not too blustery just yet. We'll see....

For Vancouver, they're still only calling for 30 mm of rain overnight, 15 mm tomorrow, and wind warnings. Sounds as if we might be getting the edge of this, but no more than that. Stay safe everyone.

It has just started blowing here. The cats are nutso- racing through the tunnel- they seem to want to be in the enclosure for some reason. I was just out securing the horse fence and it was raining so hard it hurt to get hit with it. Thank God for my carharts! (fleece lined overalls)

Elizabeth, again thank you for the warning email, we were just getting ready to leave for Northern California to see my folks. I didn't even have the television on, but I did have the computer on. Your email arrived just as I was getting ready to shut it down-

Stay safe y'all!

Stay safe everyone

Oh my gosh!!!!! Please stay safe Eddie, Hissy and anyone else who might be in the path of that storm...it really looks bad.

BTW, the weather you guys get out there on the west coast often eventually effects us here in the midwest too. All I can say about that is YIKES!!!!!

We lost a lot of little limbs and bits and pieces from our trees, and lost power for about 3 hours this morning. We are lucky. Along the penisula there were more trees down damage as I understand it, some roads closed and over 100,000 folks without power still in various counties, with some being told no power perhaps for several days. I *think* Eddie lives in one of the areas with an outage still going on, not sure. I know she will post once she can...and hope to hear from other WA state members.

I'm near Tacoma.

We have a few trees down back by the creek, but they are young trees right on the bank. We have limbs down in the yard, and some shingles off the side of the house are gone- but other than that we did good-

Glad to see that you checked in Pat and MA and are through the other side of this thing. Hoping to hear from Eddie soon now

whew...I'm glad it wasn't worse than ya'll got. I hope everyone else stayed safe too. And I hope everyone who is without power gets theirs back soon!

Our power just now came back on. My wife had a doctor appointment this morning. You should have seen her putting on makeup by the light of an oil lamp! The yard looks okay, no trees down. Cable is still out, though. GAWD, I HOPE THEY FIX IT BEFORE TOMORROW!!!

It is now hailing something fierce

Crawling out from under the porch..... here we are....

Holy smokes E! Looks like our place a few years ago. How are the animals?

Wow, I'm glad you're okay.
