NWbyNW Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Well, massive light show over city of Everett. Just witnessed half the city go dark.

One went off towards Marysville and now it's completely dark over there. But there was also a light in the sky, maybe lightning? Transformers don't blow, it's the banked line fuse that fails resulting in the power flash you see and tripping the circuit for that grid. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister is there and said it’s very windy and the winds swirling inside the stadium. Not there... just watching on TV.

LowerGarfield Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 28 minutes ago, CliffMassYelledAtMe said: Basically when I was a student at UW, I was part of a group project in a non-atmospheric sciences class. We reached out to atmospheric sciences professors to ask them some questions via email about the convergence zone and pissed them off. Mass was the only one who replied and chewed us out for emailing everyone when he was the expert and all we had to do was consult his book. Fun times. Yeah, it wasn't smart, but we weren't hounding them and they all ignored the email. Except Mass probably didn't like the injury to his ego in that we asked other people too and not his expertise and we didn't get everything we needed to know from his book. Sorry it's not a better story. I can make up another if you would prefer. Many years later it just makes me think about how no matter how smart he is, how arrogant and petty he is too. Like dude, we were stupid college kids. Just hit delete. Can you email Judah? But seriously the gusts are starting to shake the house.

Unless something major happens I probably won't be on. Hopefully we can laugh this off tomorrow and everything will be okay. I will check all quotes and responses that people have left tomorrow.
