NWbyNW Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Winds have picked up again, they are extremely loud. I mean extremely loud. But it looks like the clouds overhead are clearing to a clear night sky. I think I see stars. It's hard to tell in the dark but it looks like the clouds are heading south. Maybe east? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeInEverett Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Have a good view of the city and have a very wide view of the horizon from my balcony. It has been a full on light show out here, multiple flashes of blue/green/orange all over the sky. Can even see several flashes across the valley towards Lake Stevens/Snohomish. Surprisingly still well lit up here at home. Have had a few flickers. Wind is still going very strong. 5 (Previous name: MillCreekMike) Everett, WA (elev. 180’) 2023-2024 Snowfall: 1/11: Tr. 1/18: Tr. Go M’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWbyNW Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I have taken a few photos as best I can of the boat in the water. Just in case. There was a massive glow of lights at the port and now the port of Everett has no power except for a few light poles. And on the crane. Wind gusts are very strong and wind unrelenting. Hoping once these clouds clear up maybe that means the end of the wind? The wind is blowing all these clouds away from the sky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 For some locations this obviously feels and seems worse because of the late foliage here this year. Not surprisingly many trees still have leaves on them and many are still green. Heavy and drought stricken trees.

Totally depends on location because it is easily topping that here. These extremely strong winds have not let up since they started at around 10:00 I guess? Maybe a bit earlier? Video captured a few light show moments, not sure if they showed up on the camera. VID_20221104_232918405.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerfylicious Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I got one 35mph gust. Now the winds are calm, I topped out at 2.5" of rain and the temp has dropped from 60 to 50. Oh and my power is still on. Pretty chill tbh. Edit: nowhere near Hanukkah 2006. Even in the strait. I was in factorial and caught an 80mph gust that stole my favorite hat. We were without power for 3 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Desert Mat? Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 4 hours ago, snow_wizard said: Another interesting thing is the fact SEA only ended up with a +1 temperature departure today. Normally a plume like this would be a lot warmer. Looks like CAA begins later this evening, so this was the warmest day. You sound like you’re 12. No harm intended. In the grand scheme of things does it really matter how frosty we are? 1889 isn’t here and you weren’t either. Times have changed.

MikeInEverett Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Power is now out. A small portion of the city is still lit up. Saw blue light reflecting off the buildings and heard a loud buzzing sound then the power went out.

NWbyNW Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I said I was going to go like an hour ago. But it's so great talking and seeing what everyone's posting. For real this time I got to save my batteries. I'm down to 14% and who knows if I'll have power tomorrow. Still constant wind but not as many super heavy gusts in the past few minutes. No power. Clear sky. No rain after we had a massive sideways dumping when the wind event first began. Now for real this time... Goodnight. Thanks everyone for the updates.
